Help!

This is what I ended up with after an hour of trying to get it to tell me how many negatives i've put it, lol... its kinda funny. Help!

Code:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::cout <<"Enter numbers: "<<std::endl;
    int value;
    std::cin >> value;
    std::cin.ignore();
    std::cin.get();
    while (std::cin >> value)
    
    if (value < 0)
    {
          value < 0;
          std::cout <<"There are " << value << "negative numbers" << std::endl;
          std::cin.ignore();
          std::cin.get();
           }
           else
           {
               value >= 0;
               std::cout << "This is positive" << std::endl;
               std::cin.ignore();
               std::cin.get();
               }
                 value = 0;
                 std::cin.ignore();
                 return 0; 
                 }

Why do you have this:

while (std::cin >> value)

??

This is all you need (IMO):

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( void )
{
	int value;

	cin >> value;

	if 		( valie < 0 )  cout<< "NEG!";
	else if 	( value > 0 )  cout<< "POS!!";
	else if 	( value == 0 ) cout<< "ZERO!";
	else cout<< "I don't know what's wrong!";

	return 0;
}

I you had the while loop there so that you could do it a lot, all you need do is the following:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( void )
{
	int value = 1;

	while ( value > 0 )
	{
		cin >> value;
		// Do stuff with value here!
	}

	return 0;
}

EDIT - all compiled with MS Notepad, so ware or warnings and errors!

Thank you for asking a question, getting your answer, and then deleting the question so people are playing jeopardy trying to guess what your question was.

I agree, I hate people that do that, but they never listen, so I just quit trying...

**twomers** · 07-26-2006

Meh. Who cares? Well obviously ye two do, but what difference does it make?

Mrzach3590 - it's commonly considered 'not cricket' to edit your posts after they have been solved. Others can learn from your questions too! So refrain from doing it in the future to keep us all happy!

Now, where's that 'Thread Solved', button they were talking about ... ?

I was half-way to putting this thread in the trash-can until I saw more replies.

I am sure Mrzach is in page 10 of his/her book.
And one question: Why you say or just write "then that" instead of "than that"??

**Mrzach3590** · 07-26-2006

Oops im sorry didnt realize.

**Mrzach3590** · 07-26-2006

Original question:

Code:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    int x, y;
    std::cout << "Enter 2 numbers: " << std::endl;
   
    std::cin >> x >> y;
   
    std::cout << " The sum of "<< x << " and " << y << " is " << x + y << std::endl;
 
    return 0;
}

It compiles andruns but wont stay open for more then a millisecond so im not sureif its working or not!

Common question with a more detailed answer in the FAQ about waiting for a keypress. Simple solution is to add std::cin.ignore() to ignore the newline from when the user hits enter after inputting the numbers, then add std::cin.get() to wait for the user to input another character by pressing enter again. Those should go just before the return 0.
