Is the principle you are trying to explain that the foreach loop should
be changed to a while or that it is advisable to make a copy of the
original array? (Or just both? :-) ) I suppose it's all about the
'while' because even if I made a copy of the array but continued with
the foreach I would have the same problems, wouldn't I? Please confirm.
If not answered to the above question, please explain why it is
advisable to make a copy of the original array?
Regards,
Nora
