Homework Help

[shadowctr]

I am new to C++ programming, and have this homework where I need to find all the perfect numbers to 1000.

I have worked on this problem for a while now, and really trying to get it figured out, but I'm doing something wrong. I was wondering if someone could turn my head as to what it is.

int    testNum = 2; //the number to be tested to see if its perfect - i started it ith 2 since the perfect number must be the sum of all divisors excluding itself.
	int testDiv; //this sets test divisors to see if it goes into the number
	int accum = 0; // sums the divisors to see if they equal the test number
	int counter = 2; // count started at 2 siunce I know that there are none at 1 

	while( counter < 1000)
	{
		for (int testDiv = 1; testDiv < testNum; testDiv++)
		{
			if(testNum % testDiv == 0)
			{
				accum += testDiv;
			}

			if (accum == testNum)
			{
			    cout << testNum << " is a perfect number less
than 1000." <<endl;
			}
			
		}

		
	

		counter++;
		testNum++;

This is just a snippet of the code in question. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

> int accum = 0;
Put this inside your while loop

> if (accum == testNum)
Move this outside your for loop

Perhaps....

			    cout << testNum << " is a perfect number less
than 1000." <<endl;

And put that all on one line, or it won't compile. Or you can split it:

cout << "hello world";

cout << "hello "
    "world";

cout << "hello \
world";

cout << "hello "
    << "world";

One of those should do.
