Help with loops!


I'm doing a program where a user enters in exam results for students. Once he's entered the code, the code should split the results in stars in 4 categories.


I need help with a while loop that prints out infinite results. What I want to do is, if the user enters 2 digits, say "12", it should output 1 "*".


if the user enters "21" and "22", it should output "**".


EDIT: More info


there are 4 categories of marks which are marked with ints range1, range2, range3 and range4, which are user enter digits. Part 1 of the code is to split the user entered digits into its correct ranges. the ranges are 0-29, 30-39, 40-69 and 70-100. I've done the part where when the user enters a digit, it goes into the correct variable. After that when the user enters a digit over 100, the enter results should show up as stars. For example


Enter number =

21

22

44

66

44

23

11

111 (the 111 is where the program breaks and moves on)


so it should then display


0-29 ****

30-39

40-69 ***

70-100


whatever I'm trying, it displays an infinite amount of stars. If I try to use break, It only outputs a single star, no matter how many digits I enter
