loop

[sonict]

i can't get this program to work. I'm trying to get 2 numbers from the user input and then add the numbers inbetween the 2 number from the input. Please help me. By the way, here's my code.

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int x,y; // two numbers
int hold; // holds the screen

cout << "what is number 1 " << endl;
cin >> x;
cout << "what is number 2 " << endl;
cin >> y;

for (x>=1; x<=y; x++)

cin >> hold;
return 0;
}

Any help would by appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.

make that:
for(int i=x; i<y; i++) TotalSum += i;

Hmm don´t really understand you question. If you could giva an example it would defintly help. Anyway there are some syntax errors in your code

for (x>=1; x<=y; x++)

I belive it should be

for (x=1; x<=y; x++)
{
//statement(s)
}
//for(initialization; check condition; statement(s))

Don´t forget to use code tags

You enter 10 for first number and 20 for second number it should print 165 because i'm trying to find out the sum between the first and second numbers. so, you add the numbers like this: 10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20
and it should print 165.

my output is:
*/
what is number 1
10
what is number 2
20

Magos code is almost right then. Make a minor change and it should work.

int TotalSum = 0;
for(int i=x; i<=y; i++) 
TotalSum += i;
//print TotalSum
