3# A while loop is a way to run a command over and over again while a
4# condition is true. The condition can be an evaluation or simply the
5# word 'true'. Take these examples
6#
7# $ i=10
8# $ while [ "$i" -ge 1 ]; do
9# $ echo "$i"
10# $ i=$((i - 1))
11# $ done
12#
13# The snippet above lists out all the integers from 10 until i equals
14# 0. You can also use 'break' to stop that while loop
15#
16# $ evil_number=36
17# $ count=1
18# $ while true; do
19# $ [ ! $count -eq $evil_number ] && echo "Not evil number"
20# $ [ $count -eq $evil_number ] && break
21# $ done
22# $ echo "Evil number found"
23#
24# For your challenge, complete this game for the user. Do not change
25# the correct number.
