c++ question.

[Peks]

my objective is to gather data from 10 numbers inputted from the user, and add them all...as well as add the negatives and add the positives.

i can gather the data and add them all, but how do i only add negatives together? some kind of if/else statement?

#include <iostream>

int main(void) {

const int size = 10;
int data, pos = 0, neg = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cout << "number " << i+1 << ": ";
cin >> data;
if(data > 0)
pos += data;
else if(data < 0)
neg += data;
}

cout << "positive sum: " << pos << endl
<< "negative sum: " << neg << endl
<< "total : " << pos + neg << endl;
}

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
int counter = 0, pos = 0, neg = 0, input;
while ( counter++ < 10 )
{
cin >> input;
if ( input < 0 ) neg+=input;
else pos+=input;
}
cout << "Pos = " << pos << endl;
cout << "Neg = " << neg << endl;
cout << "Total = " << pos + neg << endl;

return 0;
}

Use abs() to get the absolute value of integers.

But.. is that what they mean?

Damn your faster typing, HigherGround. 🙂
