Simple count down with while loop

99Bottles_whileSimple.cs

The simple version uses three variables

1 string strBottles = "bottles";
2 string strLineOne = "";
3 int intBottles = 99;

The string strBottles is used to change the word 'bottles' to bottle when the bottle count gets to 1.

2 bottles of beer on the wall.  is correct but
1 bottles of beer on the wall is not so we will use a variable and an if stement to change the
word bottles to bottle if the intBottles variable = 1

1 //Check for 1 bottle of beer
2 if (intBottles==1) 
3 {
4    strBottles = " bottle"; //fix 1 bottle of beer
5 }

Now we can create the first line of the verse and write it to the console

1 strLineOne = intBottles + " " + strBottles + " of beer on the wall, " + intBottles + " bottles of beer.";
2 
3 Console.WriteLine (strLineOne);

Now we just need to wrap this is a loop and make it count down. the loop may look like

 1 while (intBottles > 0)
 2         {
 3             //Check for 1 bottle of beer
 4             if (intBottles==1) 
 5             {
 6                 strBottles = " bottle"; //fix 1 bottle of beer
 7             }
 8 
 9             strLineOne = intBottles + " " + strBottles + " of beer on the wall, " + intBottles + " bottles of beer.";
10 
11             Console.WriteLine (strLineOne);
12             
13             intBottles--;
14         }

the one we made in class
