While loop

[tygerrock]

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but 1-99 work with this code but not 0 or 100. However if I change to while (a>=0||a<=100) nothing works. I need to have 0 and 100 be inclusive.

  int main()
{
    int a;
    
    while (a <= 0 || a >= 100)
    {
        cout<<"Enter your test score."<<endl;
        cin>>a;
        }   
        
return 0;
}

Thanks for any help you can provide

hmm... no 1-99 does not work with the code you've provided.

1. You're using the wrong loop. You want a do-while loop.
2. As the code is now. you're telling it to run the loop as long as "a" is less or equal to 0 or a is 100 or more. Meaning literally any number other than 1-99.

You want to say. While a is bigger than or equal to 0 AND less than or equal to 100.

 
int a;

do
{
       cout << "Enter your test score." << endl;
       cin >> a;
} while (a >= 0 && a <= 100);

Hope this helps :)

I think it should be a>=0&&a<=100, because you want both to be true. But if I do that, the program doesn't open. But I get no errors.

Is the way the program is written mean it will end if the condition is not met but will keep prompting if the condition is met?

[TarikNeaj]

Yes. It will keep prompting if the condition is met, as soon as you input a number that does not meet the condition a>=0&&a<=100 (which is btw the condition you want) then it will exit the loop.

If you're still using a while-loop that might be the problem, because you're not initializing int a;

So if you're using a while-loop still. do int a = 0; But I would advice a do-while loop like I showed you.

If non of it is working and you are still having the problem, please post the entire code.

Thanks the program requires both a while loop and a do while loop doing the same thing. For some reason I thought the condition would end the statement not the other way around. I wrote it at while (a<0||a>100)

Thanks again!!!
