homework help please?

[tyler21210]

so we are doing for loops and he wants us to make a code that shows us the biggest number and the smallest number in this using a for loop but it keeps say large is not being int and it clearly is i believe what im i doing wrong? heres my code.

  Put the cod
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

	int n;
	int num;
	int large;
	int small;

	cout << "how many numbers do you want to enter" << endl;
	cin >> n;
	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
	{
		cout << "enter a number" << endl;
		cin >> num;
		if (i==0)
		{
			large == small == num;
			
			
		}
		if (num<small)
		{
			small = num;
			

		}
	}
	cout << "the largest number was  " << large << endl;
	cout << "the smallest number was " << small << endl;
	return 0;
}e you need help with here.

large == small == num;

== is a comparison, a == b says "is a the same as b"


= is assignment, a = b says set a's value to b's value.

you don't yet have logic to find large but you are on the right track

you have to intialize some value of large and small. consider this, the first time your code runs it checks if(num<small) but you haven't assigned any value to small, I believe that's what you tried to do in if(i==0) block. but as @jonnin pointed out, "==" is different than "="

- "==" is used to compare two numbers if they are equal or not. while
- "=" is used to assign the value.

Now, back to your code. Your logic for small seems right , but you also have to find large. So, check against if(num<small) i.e else if(num>large) and assign large.

change if(i==0) block with:

if (i==0)
	{
		large = small = num;
			
	}

and add after checking for small

else if(num>large)
	{
		large=num;
	}

And you will get your result.

tyler21210 here is the solution:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int m;
	int n;
	int num;
	int large;
	int small;

	cout << "how many numbers do you want to enter?" << endl;
	cin >> n;
	cout<< "Enter Num 1:"<<endl;
	cin>> m;
	large=m;
	small=m;
	int d=2;
	for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++)
	{	
		cout << "Enter Num "<<d<<":" << endl; //here d will show the output like this: Enter Num: 2, Enter Num: 3 . etc.
		cin >> num;
		
			if(num>large)
			large=num;
			 if(num<small)
			small=num;
			d++;		
	}
cout << "the largest number was  " << large << endl;
	cout << "the smallest number was " << small << endl;
	return 0;
}
