    Calculating Sum of Integers of Unknown Length

    My assignment, which I've attached (.pdf), is to write a C++ program that will accept a file containing an unknown number of integers as input. For each number in the input file, output the original number and the sum of the digits of the number.

    Here's what I have so far:
    Code:
    // CS 1361
    // Lab27
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <string>
    #include <cmath>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	int number, digit, sumDigits;
    	ifstream fin; // Input File
    	ofstream fout; // Output File
    	fin.open("lab27.dat");
    
    	if (!fin)
    	{
    		cerr << "Error opening input file." << endl;
    		return 1;
    	}
    	fout.open("lab27.out");
    
    	if (!fout)
    	{
    	cerr << "Error opening output file." << endl;
    	return 1;
    	}
    
    	//output table heading
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    	fout << "Number Sum of Digits" <<endl;
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    	fout << setfill(' ');
    
    	while (fin >> number)
    	{
    		sumDigits = 0;
    		fout << number;
    		if (number != 0)
    		{
    			sumDigits = sumDigits + (number % 10);
    
    		}
    	}
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    
    	//close the files
    	fin.close();
    	fout.close();
    	return 0;
    I'm having some trouble with this... Any guidance will be hugely appreciated.

    Code:
    if (number != 0)
    {
        sumDigits = sumDigits + (number % 10);
    
    }
    Why are you using "if" here;

    if number was "123" then you would get "3", I think the above section of code needs something to make 2 and 1 added to sumDigits.

    Hint: For problems like this you normally use integer division to shift through number's digits.

    Note: I deleted my first post because I mistook ">>" as C shift op.

    stahta01: Thanks for your reply. Here's the solution I came up with.
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <string>
    #include <cmath>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	int number, digit, sumDigits;
    	ifstream fin; // Input File
    	ofstream fout; // Output File
    	fin.open("lab27.dat");
    
    	if (!fin)
    	{
    		cerr << "Error opening input file." << endl;
    		return 1;
    	}
    	fout.open("lab27.out");
    
    	if (!fout)
    	{
    	cerr << "Error opening output file." << endl;
    	return 1;
    	}
    
    	//output table heading
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    	fout << "Number        Sum of Digits" << endl;
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    	fout << setfill(' ');
    
    	while (fin >> number)
    	{
    		sumDigits = 0;
    		fout << setw(11) << right << number;
    		while(number != 0)
    	{
    		digit = number % 10;
    		sumDigits = sumDigits + digit;
    		number = number / 10;
    		}
    			fout << setw(16) << right << abs(sumDigits) << endl;
    	}
    	fout << setfill('-') << setw(27) << '-' << endl;
    
    	//close the files
    	fin.close();
    	fout.close();
    	return 0;
    }

    for grins (and nothing more), you could try a string object and the sstream class.

    Code:
    string number = "123";
    int sum = 0, nval;
    
    for(int i=0; i < number.length(); ++i) {
       string nstr(number, i, 1);
       istringstream sdigit(nstr);
       sdigit >> nval;
       sum += nval;
    }
    
    cout << number << " sum of digits is " << sum;
    I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P
