 Applications often use a combination of selection and iteration statements to establish code execution paths. In addition, user input and calculations influence the flow through an application. Creating a user interface that implements a design specification can be challenging.
 
 Suppose you're a developer working on the Contoso Pets application, an application that's used to find homes for stray or abandoned pets. Some of the development work has already been completed. For example, the application's main menu and the code used to store new pet information have been developed. However, certain information isn't always available when a pet is entered in your system. You need to develop the features that ensure a complete dataset exists for each animal in your care.

 In this challenge project, you'll use Visual Studio Code to develop portions of a C# console application. You'll use boolean expressions, selection statements, and iteration statements to implement the features of a design specification. As you develop the application, you'll need to scope variables at the appropriate level.

 Your goal was to demonstrate the ability to develop features of an application that achieve a design specification. You needed to choose and implement the appropriate iteration and selection statement types to meet the stated requirements.
 
 By creating nested combinations of iteration and selection statements, you built a user interface that enables the application user to enter valid pet data that filled gaps in the ourAnimals array.

 summary: Demonstrate your ability to develop a console app that implements selection and iteration statements to achieve app specifications.
 abstract: |
   In this module, you'll demonstrate your ability to:
+
   -   Use Visual Studio Code to develop a C# console application that uses a combination of selection and iteration statements to implement logical workflows in accordance with supplied application data and user interactions.
+
   -   Evaluate the underlying conditions and make an informed decision when choosing between if-elseif-else and switch statements, and between foreach, for, while, and do iteration statements.
+
   -   Scope variables at an appropriate level within an application.
 prerequisites: |
-  -   Experience using Visual Studio Code to develop, build, and run C# console applications that include console I/O and access the methods of .NET classes
-  -   Experience using C# code to evaluate conditional expressions and manage variable scope inside and outside of code blocks
-  -   Experience using if-elseif-else and switch-case statements in C# to match a variable or expression against several possible outcomes
-  -   Experience using foreach, for, do, and while statements in C# to loop through a block of code and access elements of array variables
