This is much shorter, but now I'm not getting the same behavior or even what I'm expecting to get sometimes. I'm attempting to get the same behavior as before, but with optimized code. Also, this week we are learning about OOP, but I'm still stuck on this and I feel like I can't move on to OOP until I figured this out. I spent quite a few hours developing the second code last night (until 2 am), with numerous errors that I had to work through to get to this point, and now I'm frustrated.
FWIW, I'm using Visual Studio 17 on Win10. Any suggestions, tips, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
