here is something simple, and im having a brain fart this after noon, I need to have text lets say cout << " hello world"; repeated 5 or more times with out me typing it a bumch of times.. I know.. this is simple.. and i looked in my text book and it doesnt give me any hints.. or maybe im just brain dead today i dont know. chow/
A loop?
I did a loop like this
but the hello world just repeats it self over and over and over anc over and never endsCode:int grade = 1; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { while ( grade != 10 ){ cout << " hello world " << endl; } system("PAUSE"); return EXIT_SUCCESS;
Then make sure grade changes each time through the loop so that it will eventually be 10.
Your loop continues while the variable "grade" does not equal 10. Why would it equal 10? You never even change its value, you have to do that by yourself, it's not automatic.
Just try to increment the value of grade with each iteration

you may want to have something like:
or using simply a for loop:Code:int main() { int grade = 1; while( grade != 10 ) { cout << " hello world " << endl; grade++; } system("pause"); return 0; }
But the most important thing is to always see if you are incrementing or decrememnting the variable that you are using as the test condition of your loops!Code:int main() { for( int grade = 1;grade != 10; grade++) { cout << " hello world " << endl; } system("pause"); return 0; }
In your case you have not included a statement where grade should change or increment inside your while loop. That is why you are getting an infinite loop!
