PIN Lock!

Hy! I wrote two versions of the simple program. Which of these codes is better? Checking the code not in sololearn! Here it works not correctly. https://code.sololearn.com/cZdr2bZkfDnW/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cGMIX4xHB0on/?ref=app

I like the second version better. The while loop executes a loop 'until a condition becomes false', so whenever it's possible to find a condition, it will make the code more expressive. The code becomes more like actual language: 'While input doesn't equal the password, ask again.' One thing though: Format! Don't torment the eyes of people who have to read your code - make it readable yourself! int x; cout << "PIN Lock 1.0 \n\n"; do { cout << "Please, enter PIN code: "; cin >> x; if (x != 60425) { cout << "False!" << endl; } } while (x != 60425); cout << "True!"; return 0;

Thanks! I'm sorry! And thanks for the tip. I'm used to saving, even though this isn't necessary)

Foremost you want to save time and unnecessary effort. Statistically people spend a lot more time reading and debugging code than actually writing it. By choosing good formatting, you will spend a little more time now, but you may save a lot of time in the long run. 😉
