while loop problem

[raz23]

I've been trying to get this while loop to loop and this is what I have so far:

	cout << "\nEnter the number of tests that have been completed: ";
	cin >> num7;
	
	while (num7 <= 0);
	 	 {
		    cout << endl;
			cout << "Enter the grade for Exam " << num8 << ": ";
			cin >> num9;
			cout << "Enter the maximum possible points for Exam " << num8 << ": ";
			cin >> num10;
			num8 += 1;
			sum3 = sum3 + num9;
			sum4 = sum4 + num10;
		  }

I have it where int num8 = 1; and I wanted it to be where if there were 3 tests, it will do this:
Enter the grade for Exam 1: 87
Enter the maximum possible points for Exam 1: 100

Enter the grade for Exam 2: 84.5
Enter the maximum possible points for Exam 2: 100

Enter the grade for Exam 3: 134
Enter the maximum possible points for Exam 3: 200

And I wanted to have it where when I put in 0 for # of tests taken, it will jump past this loop and go to a text box that will be below it. Any suggestions? Right now it's stuck on test 1 and doesn't work for when I put in 0 for the test number. They didn't say anything about an if loop. Just a while loop.

you need to remove the semicolon on line 4
you need to decrease num7 at some point in the loop or it will continue forever
And you need to change the comparison operator to greater than
