The larger question is "why do you want to do that". It can be done but 
it is almost always a bad idea. Tell us what your goal is and we can 
tell you how we'd go about it.

BTW when checking a condition in a while statement it is better practice 
to say while x < 10. In the above case it does not matter but if you 
were incrementing x by 2 your code would be in an infinite loop, mine 
would still stop.
