Pennies for pay homework

hiimmike (9)
So I have to solve this using a For loop. I have to make it display a message once it hits 1 million dollars which is 100,000,000 pennies but im not sure how to implement that. Also I need it to count up to 64 days but it only goes to 63. If anyone could help that would be great!thanks

 #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
long long i;
long long j;

cout<< "Day         Daily Payout(in Cents)" << endl;
cout<< "----------------------------------" << endl;

for( i = 1,j = 1; i<=64, j>=0; i= i++, j = j*2)

cout << i << "                " << j << endl;


    return 0;
}

start your counter at 0. and

for (i = 0; i <= 64; i++)
{
while (j < 100000000)
{
j = j * 2;
}
cout << i << "                " << j << endl;

int i;
unsigned long long j;

When i use unsigned long long the program seems to count from 1 to infinity, and just keeps printing out numbers.

I tried putting in that while loop but I need it to look something like this http://gyazo.com/7b946464cbe36ccb23a3de664a3239b9 except with a message only printing out once, once it hits 100million pennies, so that would be after day 28.

I forgot, your for loop should look like this.
 
 
for( i = 1,j = 1; i<=64; i= i++, j = j*2)

:O now it counts to 64 thanks! Any idea on how to get it to print out one message once it hits day 28?

bool millionReached = false;

if(j > 100000000 && !millionReached)
