Help finding the error

I am trying to create the code for a program using a for loop that will add the elements of an array and display "sum = (sum of the array)". I think I am pretty close but I am getting 1 error. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int myarray[] = {3,5,22,4,17,6,14};

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
sum += myarray[i];
}


cout << "sum = " << sum;

cout << endl;

return 0;

}

It looks like you forgot to declare sum and initialise it to 0.

You didn't create the variable sum.
Also, do indent properly.
And, don't put a row between each line. It only makes it harder to read.

Ok. Here's where I am at now. I've been struggling with this for 2 days now. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
int sum = 0
{

int myarray[] = {3,5,22,4,17,6,14};

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
sum += myarray[i];
}

cout << "sum = " << sum;

cout << endl;

return 0;

}

Thanks!!!

sum must be defined inside the body of main...

Your placement of the definition of sum is incorrect. You probably intended to write:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int sum = 0;
    int myarray[] = {3,5,22,4,17,6,14};

    for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
    {
        sum += myarray[i];
    }

    cout << "sum = " << sum << endl;

    return 0;
}

Ok that worked. Thank you so much! I would have spent all weekend pulling my hair out over this!
