[Courses] C Programming For Absolute Beginners, Lesson 4: Getting Looped

[Carla Schroder]

Interesting...I get the same output with both versions:

$ loopybox

This is my awesome loopy program

See the value of a in each
loop in a nice table

+++++++++++
   12     + 
   16     + 
   20     + 
   24     + 
   28     + 
+++++++++++

I'll look at them more closely tomorrow. Thanks for including explanations!

Carla
