Answer 1

You can create a loop

let's take your scenario
startingpoint =100

create a loop as mentioned below

keep subtracting the number that you want till starting point > 0 . Once the starting point is 0, it will not execute.

do while (startingpoint > 0)
startingpoint = startingpoint - (number you want to subtract)
LOOP
