Beginner exercise_02

I m trying to do an end of chapter exercise.

Quote:

---

Write a program to read in 5 people's salaries and work out the tax to be paid (at 25%) for each.

---

I’m quite new to programming.
First time coding with a class; in fact, not even sure if should be using a class here at all.
Brace yourself it’s a mess.

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
        cout << "Enter 5 Salaries "<< endl;
        class pc {
        public:
                int Salary = 5;
                int i ;
        };
        pc num;       
        for(i=0; i<5; i++){
                cout << "Enter Salary No "<<i <<":" << endl;
                cin >> i;
                }
               
        /*int i = 0;
                pc num[Salary];
               
                for (i = 0; i<5; i++) {
                        num[Salary].i;
                }
                        cout << num[Salary] << endl;*
                       
                         
                                /*int pc = 25/100;
  for (i = 0; i<5; i++) {
          pc * Salary[i];
          cout << Salary[i] << endl;
  }*/

You may want to ignore that.
Anyway, if you care to post few hints
(or even better the code ;) )
so I can look at it. thanks

Some advice:

1) Declare classes outside of your functions.
2) In your first loop, don't have the user input into the loop counter variable. That is certainly not what you want to be doing. Use another temporary variable, or store the value directly where you want it.
3) Your braces are mismatched... As are your beginning/ending comments.
4) Define 'num' once as an array.
4a) As per suggestion #1, read you values directly into the aray.
