Putting an if statement in a while loop

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

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

Isn't this what actually should happen? Can you please link your code and explain which output you expect?

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.

#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; }

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
