    no solution here your code didn't work either. although much better. I seem to start with some sort of structure but I end up hacking it to make it fit, making it less user friendly.

    What about the lack of a newline after printing sum
    Code:
    cout << sum;
    Try
    Code:
    cout << sum << endl;
    nope that didn't work either.

    Here's a link to the C++ problem: Sum of Naturals divisible by 3 and 5 | Programr It only has an 11.5% success rate.

    Here's another "easy" one with a low success rate (6%).
    Sum of Odd Numbers | Programr
    Sum all odd numbers less than or equal to a given maximum.
    E.g., Given 10 the answer is 25 because 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25. Given 15 the answer is 64 because 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 = 64

    The code below fails.
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
        long max = 0;               //GIVEN
        long sum = 0;               //GIVEN
        cout<<"Enter Maximum No:";  //GIVEN
        cin>>max;                   //GIVEN
        for(long i=1;i<=max;i+=2)
            sum += i;
        cout<<"Sum of Odd no. is:"; //GIVEN
        cout<<sum<<endl;
    }
    You should report these problems. It's possible it's due to capitalization differences or something idiotic like that.

    Hmm, shame that seems a bit discouraging I was enjoying the site. I sent some feedback to them and will advise if I hear anything. Thanks for the help, at least their wasn't any obvious issues with my code.

    Okay, no reply from the website but I found the solution to sum of odd numbers + sum of naturals + others. It was very idiotic.
    Remove the last line of code that they give you so that you only output the answer. so in oogabooga example. Just remove line 13.
