    for (t = 0; t < 10; ++t)
    {
    for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)


    since you take in the value for size, you might as well use it here for 10.

    Problem now, it keeps looping.

    realize that it is going to say something ~100 times with way you have it set up.

    pull the "sorry...." outside of the loop like this

    Code:
    for (t = 0; t < 10; ++t) 
    { 
       for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) 
       { 
          if (array[t] + array[i] == 100) 
          {
             cout << "The numbers equal 100.\n";
             set = 1;
           } 
        }
        if (set==1)
          cout << "Sorry, I cannot find 2 numbers whose sum is 100.\n"; 
    
    }

    or even better

    Code:
    int set=0;
    
    for (t = 0; t < 10; ++t) 
    { 
       for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) 
       { 
          if (array[t] + array[i] == 100) 
          {
             cout << "The numbers equal 100.\n";
             set++;
           } 
        }
        if (set==0)
          cout << "Sorry, I cannot find 2 numbers whose sum is 100.\n"; 
        else
           cout << "Found " << set << " sets of numbers whose sum is 100\n."
    
    }
    Once again this doesn't take into account one number equaling 50. Notice how one number equaling 50 will make it appear that 100 was reached using two different numbers.

    I will leave you to the rest....

    A final hint on the problem of calculating the value of the same number if it equals 50...

    if/then hint: if number 1 is equal to number 2 then it is the same array position... or rather if number 1 is not equal to number 2 then perform desired operation

    got it

    thanks betazep, i figured that one out. my only issue now is, I only want it to print one message or the other, not both. everything else checks out - got rid of double hits (two hits on same set of #'s) etc. Think I have the last problem figured out, going to try it now (fingers crossed!).
