Thread: The sum of the numbers entered in a loop

I'm trying to get the total sum of numbers entered in the loop to be printed out but also I have it so it counts how many times a number is entered in. I just can't figure out how to store each number written in. here's my code....

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
    //Declare Variables
    int neg_number;
    int counter;
    int sum;
    double average;
    double x;
    
    counter = 0; //Set count to 0 to count how many times user enters a number in the loop
    sum = 0; // Set sum to 0 to add up the total numbers entered in the program
    do {
        
        
        counter ++;
        printf("Please enter a negative number: ");
        scanf("%lf", &x);
        scanf("%i", &neg_number);
        sum = x+1;
        
        
        }
    while (neg_number >= 0);
    
        
    printf("The sum of the numbers you entered is %i ", sum);
    printf("You inputed %i numbers before figuring out how to put in a negative number\n", counter);

You could implement something similar to this, to check for reoccurrences of an entered number. Perhaps use a second array to store occurrences of entered numbers. First entry would increment to 1 and then a loop such as this would check to see if that number has already been entered, if so, return to the matching element and increment again, else, assign 1.

Code:

EAF1[10]; /*Example Array of Floats*/
EAF2[10];
cntr2;

/*more code here*/

for (cntr2=0; cntr2<counter; cntr2++)
{
     if (EAF1[cntr2]==EAF1[counter])
     {
          EAF2[cntr2]++;
     }
     else
     {
          EAF2[counter]=1;
     }
}

/*more code here...*/

Seems also your |||do...while||| might be safe as a |||for||| and |||counter||| and |||sum||| could be initialized in the declarations.

Code:

int counter=0;
int sum=0;
