    summing up an array?

    Code:
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
      int i,total,array[3]={4,5,6};
    
      total=0;
    
      for(i=0;i<3;i++)
      {
        total+=array[i]+array[i+1];
        printf("%i",(total));
      }
    
    getch();
    }
    
    /*above is incorrect, but how do I do 4+5+6=15?*/

    You just need to add the current array element to the total.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Hint:

    The following:

    Expands to:

    Code:
    total = total + array[i] + array[i+1];
