C++ Homework help

Postby lowellabraham » Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:07 am

hey guys, I am a beginner to C++. I take Introduction to C++ in school. My prof assigned us this homework. Here is the assignment:

1) Write an interactive C++ program to prompt a user for 5 integer values, one at a time.
2) As the values are read, count the number that are positive (greater than 0) and the number that are negative (less than 0).
3) When the 5 values have been processed, display the number of positive values and the number of negative values.
4) Also, display the message "more positive" or "more negative" as appropriate based on the result.

So far I only found a way to display the number of either the positive integers or the negative. here is my code:

Code: Select all
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
   int number, count;

   count = 0;

   for (int i=1; i<=5; i=i+1)
   
      {
         cout << "enter number: ";
         cin  >> number;
         if (number < 0) count = count + 1;
      }
   

   cout <<"# of negative integers = " << count << endl;
   

   return 0;
   
}


I use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 as the compiler.

Hello!

To display the number of positive integers and whether there are more negative or positive integers you could use something like :

Hope this helps you.

Best wishes,
John!

PS : I tried to post the code here with or without the "code" tags but every time it would post only parts of it.
