I totally think that no, if my brain has to think too much to make a change, I did something wrong!!

And that’s what I’ve been running into a lot lately, decisions I’ve made to have less lines, or to do something faster, I’m definitely regretting

Too much thinking is also why I avoid using while loops. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes!!!

I think I’ve only written like 5 while loops in my whole career!!

Thanks so much for reading!!

I've yet to use one outside of practice assignments that say to use a while loop.

if/else or for loops for the win. I'll use a simple ternary, as a treat.

Foreach is what I always try and reach for (no pun intended)😆😆
