Thread: Netbeans and while loop

Hi all,

I am doing an exercise in Netbeans from the C++ Primer book. The questions is: "Write a program to ask the user to enter a series of numbers. Print a message saying how many of the numbers are negative numbers."

I wrote the below code:

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main () {
    std::cout << "Enter a series of numbers separated by spaces:" << std::endl;
    int a, negativeCounter = 0;
    while (std::cin >> a) {
        if (a < 0) {
            ++negativeCounter;
        }
    }
    std::cout << "You gave me " << negativeCounter << " negative numbers." << std::endl;
    return 0;

However, when I run the program in Netbeans, I input a series of numbers and hit Enter. Nothing happens as if the program is waiting for more. Is there something Netbeans-specific that's causing the issue? The answer given on the following site (for question 1.17) is similar to mine: 1.4.3 - CppPrimer

No worries, I found out myself. I needed to execute the end-of-file command, which is CTRL+D for Netbeans.
