user input range into array help

[salik89]

Hi all, I am trying to give a range to the user inputs, between 1 to 10 as it is being inserted into an array of size 3.

I think I have totally messed up and did it wrongly as there is an error that says 'error: no match for ‘operator>’ in ‘std::cin > 10’'

int main()
{
    int array[3];
    
    for (int i=0; i<3;i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter in value for Number " << i + 1 << " : "  ;
        while (cin < 0 || cin > 10)
        {
            cin >> array[i];
        }
    }
}

That's not how cin works. If i were you I would do:

 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    int array[3];
    int input;
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        //cout your thing
       cin>>input;
       while(! (input > 0 && input< 10) ){
          cin>>input;
      }
      array[i] = input;
    } 
    return 0;
} 

This will keep asking for input if its not in range 0..10. Sorry about the ugly syntax but im from a phone
EDIT:

 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    int array[3];
    int input;
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        //cout your thing
      do{
          cin>>input;
      }while(input < 0 || input >10);
      array[i] = input;
    } 
    return 0;
} 

Thats a better way!
EDIT 2:
You can even put thw cout inside the do loop so it asks everytime.

Hi there, thanks for the input.

Just curious though, what is the differences between the two codes you posted other than the while and do-while loops that you have used?
