How to make program stop when empty string is entered?

[Santek Moreli]

I am creating a simple program using a couple methods that will ask the user to input data (type int) until an empty string is entered, after which the output will be displayed.

I need to figure out how to make the input stop when an empty string is entered and have the output displayed after that.

I am using a while loop, which needs to read:

int number;

while (number is not equal to an empty string)
{
statement;
}

There also needs to be an if statement inside of the while loop that reads:

if (number is not equal to an empty string)
{
statement;
}

else
break;

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Well, the simplest thing to do is just check:

if([B]userInput[/B] == string.Empty)

Replace userInput with the name of the variable holding your user input.

Then, to break out of a loop, simply use the break statement:

if(condition)
  break;

There's really no need to do both a break and a while, but you could always do something like this:

string input = Console.ReadLine();
while(input != string.Empty)
{
  //do something with the input
  input = Console.ReadLine();
}
