Looping Activity

[exoruel]

You pros are once newbies like us. Hoped you might take a little time sharing your expertise. Got freaked out when our teacher gave us this activity, where she haven't taught this to us yet. So this is the activity (LOOPING) :


Write a program that accepts a positive integer. The program should be the same from the given output. Use do while to allow the user to continue or not.


OUTPUT must be:


n = 5
0
1==0
2==1==0
3==2==1==0
4==3==2==1==0
5==4==3==2==1==0


if n = 6
0
1==0
2==1==0
3==2==1==0
4==3==2==1==0
5==4==3==2==1==0
6==5==4==3==2==1==0

I suggest that you start with something like this:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int n = 5;
    // ... loop and print the integers from 0 to 5 inclusive ...
}

So, this program will print the simplified output:

0
1
2
3
4
5

then you change to n = 6, recompile and run the program to check.

After that, work on a program that would, depending on the value of n, print something like:

5==4==3==2==1==0

After you have formulated and implemented an algorithm that does that, combine what you learnt from the two programs to implement a program with output like:

0
1==0
2==1==0
3==2==1==0
4==3==2==1==0
5==4==3==2==1==0

When you are done with this part, then finally add in code to satisfy these requirements:

Write a program that accepts a positive integer. (...) Use do while to allow the user to continue or not.

So is there a problem with you reading the next chapter of the book? One entitled "loops" would be a good start.

Also, 99% of programming experience comes from you driving yourself, not from sitting in class listening to someone read a book to you.

See if you can at least figure enough out to print the first column of numbers.

If you have a basic text or reference handy, look up the words "looping" or "for loop" or "flow control". If using google, add the string "C++" to those search strings.

Thanks for sharing some good information regarding C++ Looping.

In addition to thanking the people who offered you advice in this thread, perhaps you should also issue an apology for wasting their time by cross-posting until you got handed an answer. It seems you were just after a solution and not interested in using the advice that people so generously gave their time to give you.

In addition to this thread, you also got pretty clear advice here, though you still didn't seem interested in actually trying to apply it.

Then some over-enthusiastic poster here gave you the whole thing, and you called it a day.
