While loop not exiting right after

apfela (1)
I am having trouble when trying to exit. if i type -1 it still asks me "Enter gender" which I enter -1 again...which shouldn't happen ...if there's any way to not make this happen?
and also my smallest [for trying to find the smallest number] gives me -1. everything else works. Help would be much appreciated. :]

The check to stop the loop happens at the END of each loop. The entire loop is run through, and THEN the condition is checked. Setting the condition to exit at the start of the loop will not make it jump to the end of the loop. The entire loop will be gone through and THEN the condition will be checked.
