    Question terminate loop

    Having problem in terminating my loop. Any help would be good

    int main(void)
    {
    int num=0, signal=0;

    while(signal<100)
    {
    scanf("%d", &signal);
    {
    if (signal>7)
    {
    printf("During minutes %d, traffic flow is %d vehicles per minute\n", num, signal);
    }
    num++;
    }
    }
    return (0);
    }

    your parentheses were a bit muddled up thats all
    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
        int num=0, signal=0;
    
        while(signal<100)
        {
            scanf("%d", &signal);
        }    
        if (signal>7)
        {
            printf("During minutes %d, traffic flow is %d vehicles per minute\n", num, signal);
        }
        num++;
    
    
        return (0);
    }
    (even though the program doesnt actually do anything)

    [edit] did you mean this?
    Code:
    while(signal<100)
    to terminate this loop you have toenter a number greater than 100, but again i dont see what this program is supposed to do

    I really don't think he wants that
    Code:
    int main(void){
         int num=0, signal=0;
         while(num<100){
              scanf("%d", &signal);
              if (signal>7){
                   printf("During minutes %d, traffic flow is %d vehicles per minute\n", num,  signal);
              }
              num++;
          }
         return (0);
    }
    maybe this but the sentence doesn't make sense to me. I think you want to compare num in the while loop not signal
