/*
Re-write the program (and save it as LastFirst_lab81b.cpp ) so that the user can continue
to input values that will be searched for, until a sentinel value is entered to end the
program. Should a pre or post test loop be used?

/*
1. It doesn't matter what kind of loop I use. If I use a while loop, i just have to initialize the sentinel so that the
loop executes at least once. I chose a do while loop so I wouldn't have to go to the trouble of initializing the sentinel before
the loop. if you look at my code the loop is made sort of superfluous because when the sentinel is entered, the program just breaks
out of the loop and the next statement it finds is return 0;. I could have easily put return 0; instead of break; but I liked
the idea of breaking out of the loop.'
