Hello! Please help me with "while" statement please!
Develop a C++ program that will determine whether a department-store customer has exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following facts are available:
a. Account number (an integer)
b. Balance at the beginning of the month
c. Total of all items charged by this customer this month
d. Total of all credits applied to this customer’s account this month
e. Allowed credit limit
The program should use a while statement to input each of these facts, calculate the new balance (= beginning balance + charges credits) and determine whether the new balance exceeds the customer’s credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the program should display the customer’s account number, credit limit, new balance and the message “Credit Limit Exceeded.”
Sample Screen Output:
Enter account number (-1 to end): 100
Enter beginning balance: 5394.78
Enter total charges: 1000.00
Enter total credits: 500.00
Enter credit limit: 5500.00
New balance is 5894.78
Account: 100
Credit limit: 5500.00
Balance: 5894.78
Credit Limit Exceeded.
Enter Account Number (or -1 to quit): 200
Enter beginning balance: 1000.00
Enter total charges: 123.45
Enter total credits: 312.00
Enter credit limit: 1500.00
New balance is 802.45
Enter Account Number (or -1 to quit): 300
Enter beginning balance: 500.00
Enter total charges: 274.73
Enter total credits: 100.00
Enter total credit limit: 800.00
New balance is 674.73

Haven't started yet coz I don't know what while statement is. Our teacher didn't discuss about it.
So your teacher has given you a problem stating that you have to use a while loop, but they have not taught you about while loops yet? That's mental.
