case as we have a different way of moving through the `argv` array and,
most importantly, knowing when to stop.
Or, it could have been rewritten as a `for` loop in this way:
```c++
for (; argv; argv++)
```
which is almost identical to the `while` version with added benefit that

So, do as we say, not as we did.
Putting the increment on its own line will make it more clear and remove
it as a side effect making the code more maintainable. Or, you could use
the `for` construction described [earlier](#line-6-could-be-redone-as-a-for-loop-in-more-than-one-way).
