I need Advice to finish my C++ prog.

[davidcarela]

Hello everyone, My Name is Dave.. : ))
New to programming in C++.

Well I have a program that I need to complete, however I'm having some trouble with my (IF) statement. As you'll see in the code I've pasted below. The idea is to have a use type in 10 number which gets stored into an array.
the function call of (proceed) allows the user to enter (y/n) which activates the program. what I'm I doing wrong its driving me crazzzzyyyyy.
: /
: )

Anyone that can help
Thanks..




#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Arrays & Functions Declaration //

float numbers[10];
// This Array will read in the numbers //

float sum=0;
// This will take in the total amount //

float average;
// Computes the average of total numbers //

int k=0;
// Takes in the users input

void readMoreNumbers (char &goOn);
// Checks to see if more numbers are to be entered //


// ******************************************************************** //

int main (int argc, char * const argv[])


{

// variable Definitions //

char proceed; // Quits? coded y/n //

// Needed to Initialize variable PROCEED, so while statment begins //

cout << " Hi I will take 10 numbers you enter and provide you with an average.";
cout << " Do you want to START ? (y/n) " ;
cin >> proceed;
cout << endl;


if ( proceed != 'n') || ( k =0; k <10; k= k++ )
{
cout << " Enter a Number ";
cin >> numbers [k];

sum = sum + numbers[k]<< endl << + (k + 1);

}

average = sum/10;
// calculates the average //

{
cout << " Number amount " << (k+1) << " is " << numbers[k];
// Prints out the numbers entered //
}
cout << " Tha average is " << average;
// Prints out the average //

return 0;
}

If statements don't work like that. If you want to loop, you will have to have a separate loop inside your if statement.

can you suggest a syntax that would help..

Thanks

I've changed it to what you see below. It's still not working..

if statements don't work like that. Also that while loop will loop continuously because you don't give the user a chance to change the variable proceed. I would personally take the while loop out.

instead of if (k=0; k <10; k =k++)

change to
for (k=0; k<10; k++)
{
cin << numbers[k];
sum+=numbers[k];
}
average = sum/10;

cout << "The average is: " << average << endl;

You also have a lot of braces in there you don't need.

{
cout << " Enter Number " << k+1 << ": \n";
cin << numbers[k];
sum+=numbers[k];
}

average = sum/10;
// calculates the average //


cout << "The Numbers Entered Were: ";
for (int l = 0; l <10; l++)
{
cout << numbers[l] << ", ";
}
cout << endl;

cout << " The average is " << average << endl;
// Prints out the average //

system("pause");
return 0;
