what am i doing wrong here?

[iky]

i dont know what is wrong with this program. i am not getting any error messages. nothing is printing inside the for loop. if i remove the for loop everything prints. i need the for loop because i have to run it 8 times.
this is my program:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int idnumb, wins, losses, ties, totalgames, remaininggames, finalscore;
double winningaverage;

cout<<"this program will print out the statistics for eight football teams."<< endl;
cout<<"team"<<" ";
for (idnumb=1; idnumb>=8; idnumb=idnumb+1) {
cout<<idnumb<<endl;
cout<<"4 wins"<<" "<<"4 losses"<<" "<< "5 ties"<<endl;
cout<<"total number of games played is"<<" ";
wins=4, losses=4, ties=5;
totalgames=wins+losses+ties;
cout<<totalgames;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"the winning average is"<<" ";
winningaverage= (wins/totalgames);
}
return 0;
}

in your for statement the conditional part ( dont know what its called ) will never be fulfilled since when you initialilze idnumb to be 1. its never going to be >= 8 so it wont even run once. Im pretty sure you mean:

for (idnumb=1; idnumb<=8; idnumb++) {

^ There its saying initialize idnumb to be one, and while idnumb is smaller-than or equal to 8 do this (rest of the code) then increment idnumb.
Im sorry im not very good at explaining :p

thanks and you were right. but how come its repeating the same data over and over again. how do i put in different data for each team so they have different number of wins, losses and ties.

[Angeljruiz]

How would you like to put in different data?
You can use rand() for random data or you can use cin to get user input

[iky]

not sure. whenever i put in a cin nothing happens. should i put the for loop around the things that need to be repeated and the put in a data separately for each team but im not sure how that would work.

[Angeljruiz]

Well heres an example of cin

int wins;
cout << "Please enter in wins \n";
cin >> wins;
cout << "The team won " << wins << " times\n"; 

You could use an array of ints and then just loop it to get wins loses and ties

EDIT: also you dont need to include cmath in your program since you arent using any of its functions. Just search up cmath c++ on google to see everything thats in there.

ok can you show me where i should put it in my program.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int idnumb, wins, losses, ties, totalgames, remaininggames, finalscore;
float winningaverage;

cout<<"this program will print out the statistics for eight football teams."<< endl;
for (idnumb=1; idnumb<=8; idnumb=idnumb+1) {
cout<<"team"<<" ";
cout<<idnumb<<endl;
cout<<"4 wins"<<" "<<"4 losses"<<" "<< "5 ties"<<endl;
cout<<"total number of games played is"<<" ";
wins=4, losses=4, ties=5;
totalgames=wins+losses+ties;
cout<<totalgames;
if (totalgames==16)
cout<<" the season is finished";
else (totalgames<16);
cout<< " the season is not finished";
cout<<endl;
cout<<"the winning average is"<<" ";
winningaverage=((double)wins/totalgames);
cout<<winningaverage<<endl;
if (ties>=wins)
cout<<"the number of games won is greater than or equal to the number of games won"<<endl;
else (ties>=wins);
cout<<"the number of games won is not greater than or equal to the number of games won";
cout<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
thanks

Man come on i dont wanna do your program for you XD

Just make a struck:

struct Team {
    int wins, loses, tied;
};

then get input for them:

struct Team teams[8]; //Array of Team - Remember that 0 is the starting number;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
    cout << "Please enter wins\n";
    cin >> teams[i].wins;
    //etc...
}

[iky]

dont worry i wasnt telling you to do it for me. gotta learn it myself :)
i dont think i can use struck because my prof hasnt taught it yet and he takes off points for every little thing, but thanks though.
