//
//	This program demonstrates a simple "while" loop.
	
//	1. Compile and run this program.  Yee-hah!  Take a look
//	at the "while" loop and see if you can make sense out of
//	how it works.
//	
//	2. What do you expect to happen if you leave out the
//	"i = i + 1" line?  Try removing that line, saving,
//	recompiling, and executing.  Were you right?  (By
//	the way, you can stop a program running out of control
//	by typing a CTRL-C.  That is, hold down the CTRL key
//	while typing C.)
//	
//	3. Put the i = i+1 back in.  What do you expect to happen if
//	remove the "i = 1" line?  Try it and see.
//	
//	4. Try changing the program to deliver only odd-numbered greetings.
//	Then try delivering only even-numbered greetings.
//	
//	5. A little terminology.  A "loop" is a program structure that
//	allows you to do something over and over.  When you add
//	one to a variable (e.g.  i = i + 1), you are "incrementing"
//	that variable.  The question asked in a while loop or
//	other loops (in the case below the question is
//	"i <= nGreetings", or in English, "is the value of variable
//	i less than or equal to the value of variable nGreetings?")
//	is called the "loop condition" or "loop test."
