problem with user input monitor

[andrewt]

My program is working fine except I must take into account that the user may type the value -1 as first input.

In my idea, I should tell the program that if the user input -1 as first input and therefore the counter is 1 then program should stop. If the user already input other numbers (than means counter should be != 1) then program should run.

What happens now is that even if the user corretly input -1 after other previous inputs everything stops.

If I get rid of

if (double i = -1) && (counter = 1)
{
return 0;
}
else...

my program works fine...

if (double i = -1) && (counter = 1)

These are not condition expressions. Clearly the correct way is too use the '==' operand. It gives you the error because 'double i = -1' is an assignment expression and expects a semi colon.

if (double i == -1) && (counter == 1)

If you don't understand the difference between == and = , this can very easily be found in the CPlusPlus.com reference and tutorial section.

also, the whole conditional statement should be between parenthesis. And I'm not sure why you're initializing a double to -1 inside the conditional, I think you may want
if (scores[0] == -1)

even if (double i == -1) && (counter == 1) is wrong as double i is a declaration and you have to parenthesise the entire condition:
if ( scores[counter]==-1 && counter==1 ) ( I suppose that 'i' was meant to be 'scores[counter]'

(EDIT: typed slowly)
