Step 1
Using VB.Net only, change the program code inside the while loop so that it will work correctly for any odd integer entered by the user.

Answer
To ensure that the program works for any odd integer entered by the user, the condition inside the while loop needs to be adjusted. We can check if the odd value is greater than the input number, and if so, decrease odd by 2 each iteration to include negative odd integers. Below is the corrected code:
While odd <= number
Console.WriteLine(odd)
If number < 0 Then
odd = odd - 2
Else
odd = odd + 2
End If
End While
In this corrected loop:
If the entered number is negative, it decrements odd by 2 to account for odd negatives.
If the number is positive, it continues to increment odd by 2.
