Thread: input/output

currently wrote a bank account type code it compiles well but instead of givign a starting bank account of 40 when i run it it gives a starting bank account of 22 + the deposit. I also tryed usign a const for the starting bank account so i just did bank == 40. take a look at the code
think im starting to get the hang of this another week or two practicing code n ill move up

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int i;
  int bank;
  bank == 40;
  cout<<"You have 40 dollars in your account" << endl;
  cout << "Enter how much money you want to deposit: ";
  cin >> i;
  cin.ignore();
  cout << "You have " << bank + i <<" in your account "<< endl;
  cout << " and an interest rate of " << (bank + i) * .05 <<" per month "<< endl;
  cin.get();
}

heres better example of code maybe thsi will help give u an idea of what im talking about. I declare bank as 40 but keeps sayign its 22. why is this?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int i;
  int bank;
  bank == 40;
  cout<<"You have "<< bank << "dollars in your account" << endl;
  cout << "Enter how much money you want to deposit: ";
  cin >> i;
  cin.ignore();
  cout << "You have " << bank + i <<" in your account "<< endl;
  cout << " and an interest rate of " << (bank + i) * .05 <<" per month "<< endl;
  cin.get();
}

Code:

  bank == 40;

This statement has no effect. it just checks if bank is 40 and discards the result of the comparison.
it should be

Code:

  bank = 40;
