multiplying by 2 in a loop
PROBLEM :
Print out a table based on the number of days the user enters starting at one. List the pay for each day, the first days pay is a penny, but the pay doubles every day. Announce when the worker has earned $1000 and $1000000at the job.
but when it comes to multiplying the double ".01 "in a loop, I can't figure it out.I did something like :
while (pay < 1000) {
cout << pay <<;
pay * 2;
but it doesn't loop and multiply the pay! is there a way to use multiplication instead of the incrementer ++?

Well, you're not actually multiplying the variable, 'pay'. To do that, you must use
pay = pay * 2. Hopefully, this gets you started.
