----------------------------------- strugglin-angel Mon Feb 07, 2005 11:05 pm how do i find the sum of all numbers ? ----------------------------------- how do i write a program that will find the sum of all numbers until an EOF of -99 is entered? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Feb 07, 2005 11:12 pm ----------------------------------- this is best done using a 'loop' loop. have an 'exit when' condition when EOF -99 occurs ----------------------------------- strugglin-angel Mon Feb 07, 2005 11:22 pm ----------------------------------- oooo :D i thot it had to b done with arrayz...~_~" thank you ! ^_^ ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Tue Feb 08, 2005 11:13 am ----------------------------------- right, you dont really need an array. the only thing you need to keep track of is the sum. ----------------------------------- Viper Tue Feb 08, 2005 1:02 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Feb 08, 2005 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- Viper, you've been around long enough to know 2 things: 1) Use sum += num Keeping in mind that 'sum' has to be initialized at its onset. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- okay, i know i havent used turing in a while, but shouldnt it be: exit when ... ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:59 pm ----------------------------------- That's correct. It's not exit if ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Tue Feb 08, 2005 8:16 pm ----------------------------------- ... arrays? ... this program you're writing should be way before you need to worry about arrays. good luck anyways. -Z ----------------------------------- strugglin-angel Tue Feb 08, 2005 10:58 pm ----------------------------------- lol thanx guyz y'all have been very helpful ^_^ ....and for arrays...lol i don't even noe wa dey are wa was i thinkin ~_~" lol i'm so nub =p ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Feb 08, 2005 11:40 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- strugglin-angel Wed Feb 09, 2005 12:00 am ----------------------------------- :idea: hmm dats a very logical way of thinkin of it :D hmm u guyz are soo gud at this .. i just mite pass comp sci this semester ^_^
