    Score Entering

    I'm having troubles with a program of mine, I'm trying to create code that will let a user enter scores but stop entering the scores when they type a certain number, I have everything working in this program except for my function where I enter the numbers. I can enter numbers but when i type -1 to go back to the main menu it doesn't do much, I would appreciate if someone could get me a little code for this function. Thanks for your time

    how are you determining if its -1, your using an if statement right?

    Yes, I am using an if statement. And I am just using -1 as an example, anything will do.

    Code:
    int scores = 0;
    cin>>scores;
    while ( scores != -1 ) {
      // Process the score
      cin>>scores;
    }
    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    I used your idea but it still wasn't working right, I finally figured out though that i needed (i-1 != -1) instead of (i != 0) but the suggestion above made it alot easier also, thank you all very much.
