what grade are you in and do you know what a for loop is or a infinite loop?

[vexd]

basically u need a variable.

a for loop

and keep adding the value of the For Loop to the variable

[air_force91]

im in grade 10...and yeah i do know what a loop and an infinite loop is...but i can't figure out the problem...i can't seem to be able to get the numbers in 5s and add them together...their supposed to be like:
5
10
15
20
35
40
75

[air_force91]

here's my code:

%loop entered
loop
for num:0..101
put num+5
put (num+5)+5
put (num+5)+(num+5)+5
delay(10000)
end for
end loop

now instead of going like this:

5
10
15
20
35

my output is:
5
10
15
6
11
17

can u tell me where ive gone wrong and what i could do?

i keep on trying but i don't get the output i need...

you basically do what was said above.. a variable then add teh value of the for loop, check it out.

code:

var total:int:=0 %declare a var of int, set it to 0 for i:0..101 by 5 %start a for loop, increment by 5 each time   put i %display i    total += i %add i to the total value end for

[Andy]

OR

code:

int count:=1 loop     put count*5     count+=1 end loop

[Tony]

or

code:

for i:0..101 by 5 put i end for

[Andy]

mine goes infinitely long, take that tony!

[thoughtful]

dodge bro..isnt that bad, what if the guy doesnt know how to terminate the program

[Andy]

his assignment didnt ask for it to end...

[thoughtful]

that was supposed to be a joke, well i guess i am not much of a joker...(note to self *no more jokes*)
