Thread: noobie loop question

i get alot of ; expected before ) or )expected before ; errors when i try to compile this code, i am using bloodshed dev-c++ compiler. this is just me practicing what i have learnt while reading the tutorials

Code:

 #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int x,y;
  cout<<"input X\n"; 
  cin>> x;
  cout<<"x will be modified by this variable, (y)\n";
  cin>>y;
  do (
    x = x + y; /*error in this line, "expected ')' before ';' token */
    x++;
    cout<< x<<"\n";
    cin.ignore();
    )
  while (x < 10)
  cin.get();
  }
