Newbie Question: Restarting a function

[sgtshelton233]

Hello All,

I am extremely new to this and have a question. For a homework assignment, part of the process was to ask the user if they would like to restart the questions. First it asks for a number, then checks if the number is odd or even, then displays the next sequential numbers up to 100 by (5) if even or by (10) if odd. Then it is "supposed" to ask if you would like to keep going, lol. Obviously by looking at my code you will see that I was unable to do this. I was however able to get the code in there to ask if the user wants to stay or leave the page, which was another part of the assignment. Like I said, I am VERY new to this, so don't laugh at my ugly code. Thanks for your help.


<script type="text/javascript">
var num = prompt("Check your number", "Type your number here");

num = parseInt(num);

if (num == 0)
{
alert("The number is zero");

}
else if (num%2)
{
do{
num = num + 10;
alert(num);
}
while (num < 90);
}
else
{
do{
num = num + 5;
alert(num);
}
while (num < 95);

}

var where_to= confirm("Do you want to leave this page?");
if (where_to== true)
{
window.location="http://www.yahoo.com";
}
else
{
exit
}

</script>

You need one more loop (ie. a do while)that wraps up everything you want to repeat, and add one more prompt just before the end of the loop.

You will start your loop just above the line
"var num = prompt("Check your number", "Type your number here"); ".
You will finish your loop just below the lines
" while (num < 95);

}".

Just above the end of your loop, you will prompt one more time and ask if they want to continue. The answer to this prompt is what you will check in the end of your loop conditional statement.

I only gave you clues. If you are still stuck, let me know - I think I am in your class.
