Thread: Newbie, needs lots of help

There is no need for the do function.

Code:

  #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
      
using namespace std;
int firstnumber;
int secondnumber;
int answer;
cout<<"Enter an integer: ";
cin>>firstnumber;
cout<<"Enter a second integer: ";
cin>>secondnumber;

firstnumber+secondnumber==answer;

cout <<"The sum is:"<<answer;

return 0;
}

Also, when posting code please use the code format. (Just type [ code ] with no spaces and [ / code] no spaces to end).

The 'do' statement causes a infinite loop that can be terminated using the 'break' command, or using a 'while' condition. For example:

Code:

BOOl bExit=FALSE;
char chInput;
do
{
    cin >> chInput;
} while (chInput!='q')

That loop will run until the user enters 'q'.

EDIT: typo

Or even

answer = firstnumber+secondnumber;

Or even

answer = firstnumber+secondnumber;

Lol noone even noticed that obvious error. What have we become?

Untrue.

The do statement requires a while to terminate the loop. do by itself is not an infinite loop -- it's an error.
