arrays within an if statement

rej3kt (132)
Getting a bit stuck trying to put an if statement to test weather the array value entered is bigger or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to ten.
I've tried

numbers[counter]>=1 && numbers[counter]<=10

but it doesn't work, i've also tried just numbers but it's coming up with can't compare a pointer and integer, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks alot.

#include <iostream.h>

int main()

{
    
   
   int numbers[10];
   int counter=0;

 

      
       
       for (counter = 1; counter <= 9; counter++)
     {
        cout << "Enter element number " << counter << " : ";
       cin >> numbers[counter];
       
     }

    
 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;   
}

Your expression is correct. It's possible that it's used incorrectly. Can you post your code with it in.

Can't remeber where I placed it before but I can't really see where to put it now because if I put the if statement after cin then yeah it's testing weather or not it's >=1 or <=10 but I don't know how to get it to repeat the for loop if it is true and exit if it is false.

     {
        
        
        cout << "box " << counter << " : ";
        
        if (guess[counter] == numbers[counter])
        {cout<<"Right!"<<endl;}
        else{cout<<"Wrong!"<<endl;}
        

      }
      
      
    
 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;   
}



Just trying to get it so it'll only accept numbers between 1 and 10 (including 1 and ten).

What's wrong with that?

It's fine but I need it to only accept numbers between 1 and 10, just don't know how to include the if statement in the loop.

for (counter = 1; counter <= 9; counter++)
{
    std::cout << "Enter a number in box " << counter << " : ";

    do
        std::cin >> numbers[counter];
    while (!(1 <= numbers[counter] && numbers[counter] <= 10));
}


Is there a reason your loops start at 1? C++ arrays start at zero. Conventionally, your loop would be:
for (counter = 0; counter < 10; ++counter)
