[Courses] C Programming For Absolute Beginners, Lesson 3: Else If, While, Operators

[Carla Schroder]

Now that was fun! Because the first few times I tried to compile this it 
freaked out with lots of errors. I finally figured out that copying it from 
email inserted a couple of line breaks where there should not have been line 
breaks. Got rid of those and it ran perfectly. Thanks Leslie!
