Thread: While loop issue

here is the code

Code:

/* A simple computer simulator */ 

#include<stdio.h> 
#define SIZE 100

int main()
{ 
   int memory[SIZE];  //simulated memory  
   int count = 0; 
   //print welcome message first 
   printf("\n\n"); 
   
   printf("***Welcome to Simcom!***\n***Please enter your program one 
instruction word at a time**\n***I will type the location number and a 
question mark***\n***You then type the word for that 
location***\n***Type the sentinal -99999 to stop entering your 
program***\n");

  
  do 
   {   
        
       printf("%02d ?",count); 
       scanf("%d",&memory[count]); 
       printf("memory%02d contains %04d\n",count,memory[count]); 
       count++; 
       
    } 
    while (count < 100 && memory[count] != -99999);   

return 0; 
}

problem is that it will terminate the loop after reaching 99 but not
if the sentinel is entered and i dont know why. If i use a if
statement with a break in the loop then it works fine but im not
able to put it all in the while checking any help would be helpfull.

Consider the first iteration. count = 0, but then you do count++ before testing memory[count] for the sentinel value.

LOL yea i just realized that
sorry for the post and thanks
