Thread: Help with loops

I GOT IT!!! yay!!! lol...

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
int number; // declare an integer named number

do // start  a command
{
cout<<"Pick a number 1-5: ";
cin>>number // get number
cin.ignore(); // ignore decimals and spaces
}
while ( number == 0 or number >= 6 ); // if number isn't zero or is over 5
}

is a simple code i wrote to test out the do-while loops! that one i can tell how it is helpful, now to write one for the other ones... and i just reolized i comment a lot... at least i wount forget what each thing does!

Its great to keep it thoroughly commented.. it only helps, and it doesnt hurt

Nice implimentation, I might go like this if you put error handling:

Code:

  int number; // declare an integer named number

  while( number == 0 || number > 5 ) { // the symbols || is "or"
    cout << "Pick a number from 1-5: "; 
    cin >> number;
    cin.ignore();

    if( number == 0 || number > 5 ) {
      cout << "Error, incorrect choice: " << number;
    } else {
      cout << "Great! you chose: " << number << endl; 
    } // put an endl in there because youre wrapping back up there.
  }

  cin.get(); // used to hold the console window open
