14. The break statement is used to terminate the execution of a switch statement
A. True
B. False
15. A do-while loop repeats the loop body zero or more times.
A. True

changes the value of a variable in the conditional boolean expression part of the while loop.
A. True
B. False
17. The while statement will execute the loop body if the condition evaluates to false or zero.
A. True
