    Using loop in a addition C++ Program

    Sorry to post this kinda thread here but I just can't find anyone to ask this rather than here.

    I found an exam question recently which used this C++ code. The stem of the code is

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    main()
    {
    int a, b, c, s;
    scanf ("%d, %d, %d", &a, &b, &c);
    s=a+b+c;
    printf("%d",s);
    }
    Now my question is, can this statement be performed by a loop statement? If yes, then can someone provide me the code. I already thought about the code but it seems too irrelevant of even performing the code that I made up. So I didn't want to write that code here.

    TIA

    Perform which statement in a loop, asking the user for input? If so, you can certainly do that.

    I already thought about the code (…) I didn't want to write that code here.
    Doesn't matter, just post your attempt. This is about learning, not proving how good you are.

    Remember to decide what is supposed to end the loop.
    A set number of loop iterations suggests using a for loop.

    FYI: The code you posted is "C" instead of "C++" code.
