Your answer does not help me to understand how to use a "structured
programming / if , while, for, functions" for the specific task that I want
to achieve. I failed using "your" lovely structured programming and that's
the reason why I'm asking for some hint to understand why and how I can use
it. Your answer puts the finger on the spot and isn't helpful, also because
it says things that I already knew.
