how do i write a program that will find the sum of all numbers until an EOF of -99 is entered? |

this is best done using a 'loop' loop. have an 'exit when' condition when EOF -99 occurs |

right, you dont really need an array. the only thing you need to keep track of is the sum. |

ull need the sum and the number of inputs not including the -99 eg loop put "enter num" get num exit if num=-99 sum:=sum+num numcount:=numcount+num end loop |

Viper, you've been around long enough to know 2 things: 1) Use [code ] tags. That's just a given. 2) "sum:=sum+num" I'm not even going to breach upon commenting on your formatting. That entire statement can be condensed to
Keeping in mind that 'sum' has to be initialized at its onset. |

That's correct. It's not exit if |

... arrays? ... this program you're writing should be way before you need to worry about arrays. good luck anyways. -Z |

Just think about it as if you were doing the problem yourself. "I'm going to give you an indeterminate number of numbers, and I need you to tell me the sum." The best way to do this would simply be to keep a running total. |
