Exercise 32. Loops and Arrays

You should now be able to do some programs that are much more interesting. If you have been keeping up, you should realize that now you can combine all the other things you have learned with if-statements and Boolean expressions to make your programs do smart things.

However, programs also need to do repetitive things very quickly. We are going to use a for-loop in this exercise to build and print various arrays. When you do the exercise, you will start to figure out what they are. I won’t tell you right now. You have to figure it out.
