[CentralOH] Else Statements and Loops

[Jay Shaffstall]

I first discovered this language feature when teaching Python to
non-programming in my CS0 course.  They'd use else on while loops, and it
would work.  I've had to work to break them of the habit (since none of the
programs they're writing need that sort of 'finally' functionality on
loops).
