adding loop

[ProgramMaster]

Well I am working on something that add's up any bills a person may have , but I want to have a loop that asks the user each time it starts do ayou have a bill if 'Y' then it goes and gets the bill amount then at the end it repeats and ask's the same things, but if the user does have more than 1 bill i need a loop that would keep track of each data input then add all of them up at the very end when the user puts 'N' for no.

sound like you need a for loop. if you're already using one, lets see your code

Alright Well i added in a for loop but when I display the total it's just zero how do I add what was just gathered during the loop

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

double PayRate;
double Extra;
double Bill;
double Personal;
double Total;
double End_total;
double Bill_total;
double Hours;
int more;

int main()
{
	cout<<"Please enter your pay rate\n";
	cin >> PayRate;
	cout<<"Thank You\n";
	cout<<"Please enter your total hours worked\n";
	cin>>Hours;
	cout<<"Thank You\n";
	cout<<"Please enter any extra income this week\n";
	cin>>Extra;
	cout <<"Thank you.... one moment while totals are calculated\n";
	Total = PayRate*Hours-0.22+Extra;
	for (int Bill=0; Bill!=-1;Bill++)
	{
		cout<<"do you have a bill youd like to enter?\n";
		cin>>Bill;
		cout<<"Thank you"<<endl;
	}
	cout<<Bill<<endl;
	system("pause");
}

you know after trying it out I think a endless while loop would prove easier than a for loop. Something like this

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

double PayRate;
double Extra;
double Bill;
double Personal;
double Total;
double End_total;
double Bill_total;
double Hours;
int more;

int main()
{
	cout<<"Please enter your pay rate\n";
	cin >> PayRate;
	cout<<"Thank You\n";
	cout<<"Please enter your total hours worked\n";
	cin>>Hours;
	cout<<"Thank You\n";
	cout<<"Please enter any extra income this week\n";
	cin>>Extra;
	cout <<"Thank you.... one moment while totals are calculated\n";
	Total = PayRate*Hours-0.22+Extra;

	char ans = NULL;

	while(1>0)
	{
		cout<<"do you have a bill youd like to enter?\n";
		cin>>ans;
		if(ans == 'y' || ans == 'Y')
		{
			cout<<"Enter the amount of the bill.\n";
			cin>>Bill;
			Bill_total += Bill;	
			continue;
		}
		if(ans == 'n' || ans == 'N')
		{
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			cout<<"Invalid Choice try again.\n";
		}
	}
	cout<<Bill_total<<endl;
	system("pause");
}

that should work, I tried it out.

EDIT: Oh yea and when you post code use the <> thing under format, it looks much nicer and it's easier to read.
