i WANT TO TURN THAT RED WHILE IN TO A FOR LOOP U KNOW LIKE

[CODE]for(int n=0; n<5; n++)[/CODE]

but i dont understand the strcmp(), "quit" how would i change it so its a for loop and im intering the info in the loop

[CODE]
[red]while(printf("Enter Social Security Number: "), strcmp(gets(ss), "quit"))[/red]
{
//Obtain a "random" list index
hashval = hash(ss);
//Attempt to add record to list
person = insert(ss, student_body, hashval);
if (person) //Indicate failure to add
printf("You have attempted to enter a duplicte record!
");
} /*end of while*/
[/CODE]

For any expression x,
while(x) == for(;x;)

the correct answer is
[code]
for(int n=0; n<5; n++)
{ cout<<"Enter Social Security Number: ";
strcmp(gets(ss), "quit");
[/code]
