Re: [Dev-C++] Searching and adding items to an array

[Brian W. <bri...@gm...>]

I actually figured it out last night.  Used a while loop with a flag
that was set pos/neg depending on whether it found a duplicate and a
for loop inside to read through the array.

I knew about using break for switch, but didn't realize it could be
used for while loops.

Thanks!
