Hello,
As you might have seen me lurking around the monastery, I got a question about the while statements. It's a fairly sipmle one but I still need help...

I have seen examples that use numbers in the while statements, I want to know if it is possible to use words. It might sound like a stuipid question, but in every example I've seen, it always had the > >= < <= eq = in them. I havent seen one example with words in the while (blah)  {. Please have mercy on my stuipid question, I really need help. Thanks for taking your time out to read this. Later.

One person can change the corse of history. One person can destroy the human race. That one person is out there, I intend to find him.
