Putting an if statement in a while loop

Question

I'm doing my count down project and when I introduce an if statement it will interrupt the loop or only output what fits the if statement

Answer 1

David Garcia Prados,
What makes the use of `break` a bad practice? isn't it a valid statement in a loop?

Answer 2

Isn't this what actually should happen?

Can you please link your code and explain which output you expect?

Answer 3

There are two options:
1. You can use a break statement but it's a bad practice.
2. Add the negation of condition in while.

Answer 4

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int n;
cin >> n;

//your code goes here
while(n > 0){
cout << n << endl;
if(n % 5 == 0){
cout << "Beep" << endl;
}
n--;
}

return 0;
}

Answer 5

Yes thank you that is very helpful

Answer 6

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int n;
cin >> n;

while (n > 0){
cout << n << endl;
n--;
if (n %= 5){
cout << "beep" << endl;
}
}

return 0;
}

Answer 7

When it runs it's supposed to out put a countdown to 1 from the input with the word beep following any number divisible by 5
