Preparing for test

[weyekin03]

And one more practice I am having issues with. Problem - allow users to enter any quantity of numbers until a negative is entered. Then display the highest and lowest of the numbers entered. When I run it my output is backwards min = max number max number = min. Thanks for any assistance with this.

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

using namespace std;
int main()

{
//Declaration
int min = 0;
int max = 0;
int num;
int count = 0;
//int sum = 0;
cout << "Enter your number or a negative number will exit: ";
cin >> num;
while (num >=0){
//sum += num;
count ++;
if (num > min)
min = num;
else if (num > max)
max = num;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num;
}
// if (count == 0)
//cout << "No entry" << endl;
//else
{
cout << "Minimum Number is: " << min <<endl;
cout << "Maximum Number is: " << max <<endl;
}
return 0;
}

You have the lineif (num > min) this is making a new minimum only if the number is bigger than the current minimum not smaller. Try changing that toif(num < min)

Also why are some lines that seem useful and needed such as else commented out? Make sure to check that as your program won't run as they are.

Hi,

==>

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int lowest = 10000000;
    int highest = 0;
    int num = 0;
    int count = 0;
    int sum = 0;

    cout << "Enter your number, or a negative number to exit: ";
    cin >> num;
    while (num >=0)
    {
        sum += num;
        count++;
        if (num < lowest)
lowest = num;
        if (num > highest)
highest = num;
        cout << "Enter a number: ";
        cin >> num;
    }

    cout << "Numbers counted : " << count << endl;
    if(count > 0)
    {
        cout << "Minimum Number is: " << lowest << endl;
        cout << "Maximum Number is: " << highest << endl;
        cout << "Total sum of numbers is: " << sum << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
