			*
			*To do this, we will use another of the programmer's most basic tools:  a loop!
			*There are two types of loops we'll use in this class, today we'll start with a while loop
			*It takes the form:
		  *
			*init
			*while(condition){
			*  //stuff to repeat
			*  //somewhere in here, we potentially change the condition.
			*}
			*
			*Here's an example that will loop for 6 stats
