C++ Looping Problem

[z8RDizwU]

Our instructor gave me this problems
1. Create a program that will display the ff. pattern from
-5, 1, 1-5, 2,.....20

2. Make a program that will display the sum, difference, product, quotient & average of the 3 numbers. Consider (1,2 &3) as the 3 numbers.

Any tips on making a FOR loop code? I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

Thanks in Advance :))

Get a newer compiler. Preferably one newer than 16 years.

We are asked to make the program in MS Visual C++.6.0 :/

Drop the class.

I gave similar advice to someone here:

IMO you should consider dropping this class and sending a note to the school board about the curriculum. You're not going to learn anything worthwhile with a 15+ year old compiler. The only thing you're going to learn is how to write broken code that won't work in the real world.

EDIT:

I'm overstating that. Let me correct myself. I recommend the following:

1) Definitely send a note to the school board about the outdated curriculum. Teaching Turbo C++ in 2014 is completely unacceptable.

2) If you can find another programming course that is more modern... even if it is something other than C++ (like a Java class or something), take it, and drop your current class.

3) If there are no other classes available.. that's a bummer. Whether or not you want to stick it out is your decision. You will learn some useful things, but you'll also learn a bunch of really bad things that you will eventually have to 'unlearn'.
