  5.     Janaidah Dora's tricky question:
  6.  
  7.     https://www.facebook.com/JanaidahAndor
  8.  
  9.     How do you make a program by using do-while or if-else
  10.     by inputing 10 integers and by just declaring one variable.
  11.  
  12.     Loops must have their own counter and this is the only one
  13.     variable that must be declared.
  14.  
  15.     Jark Clim,

  18.     gave me an idea for solving this tricky task.
  19.     The idea is to use the command line arguments,
  20.     which we write when invoking a program,
  21.     to accommodate our 10 variables.
  22.  
  23.   Command line arguments: main(int argc, char *argv[])
  24.  
  25.   Do not forget first to compile this program
  26.   and then run exe file from command line,
  27.   exactly with quotes, like this:
  28.  
  29.   "command line arguments v2.exe" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  30.  
  31.   Exe file name is in quotes because
  32.   name has several words separated by space
  33.  
  34.   We have to write arguments  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  35.   to reserve memory space.
  36.  
  37.   Maybe someone else will have a better solution...
