Noob question! Code completion

theleprechaun · 08-22-2008, 07:47 PM

Hello.
I've decided to teach myself C++. So for the past week or so I've been reading the tutorials on this site, doing the examples etc. I finished the tutorials and decided to try the challenges. And I got stuck on the first!!!

After trying unsuccessfully to get my program to work, I looked at Cprogramming.com's solution, compiled it, ran it, and even the solution doesn't work!

When running it fills in the element of the array (I presume) but it does not list them(I take list to mean print) and instead just exits.

So, is my compiler broken? Or is there some incredibly noobish mistake that i can't see(most likely)

Below is the solution, as posted by Cprogramming.com:

When completed, the following program should first fill in (by asking the user for
input) and then list all the elements in an array:

Code:

#include <iostream>
      using namespace std;
      int main()
{
  int array[8];
  for(int x=0; x<8; x++)
  cin>> array[x];
  for(int x=0; x<8; x++)
  cout<< array[x];
  return 0;

}

Hope I've clarified enough

You need to type in 8 values first (followed by [enter]s). Would probably be clearer if there was a prompt.

The program prompts me for array input, and allows me to type in the 8 numbers, but then it exits, without printing them.

So I would guess the problem is in the second If statement

The problem is not in the actual program. Read the FAQ entry.

I have balls.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int array[8];
	for(int x=0; x<8; x++)
		cin>> array[x];
	for(int x=0; x<8; x++)
		cout<< array[x];
       getch();
	return 0;
}

now leave me alone. Seriously.
