loop structure sum help..

[alwyntomodachi]

Write your question here:

Write a program that calculates the sum of sequence 1 to 5.
(Using LOOP STATEMENT)

please help.. I've been try it for hours using for-statement.
All I could do was just to create the sequence of 1 to 5..

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for(int a=1;a<=5;a++)
{
cout<<a;
}
getch();
return 0;
}

you need a variable declared OUTSIDE your for loop ('sum' for example, and initiliase to zero).

then in your for loop just add 'a' to this variable, and reassign back into sum.
