Hey all,
I'm trying a problem in this C book that I picked up and one of them has me stumped. I'm supposed to create a program that uses a loop to sum up monthly sales for the year.
Basically, I want something that asks you, "What were your sales in January", "What were your sales in February", etc., etc.
My thought is something like:
-----------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
string months[3]={"January", "February", "March"};
int i=0;
int monthly_sales;
int total_sales;
while (i <= 3)
{
cout << "How much did you make in " << months[i] << " : ";
cin >> monthly_sales;
total_sales+=monthly_sales;
++i;
};
cout << "Your total sales are: " << total_sales;
return 0;
}
-------------------------
However, this either crashes, or it returns a crazy value. For instance, I'll enter 1+1+3 for monthly sales and the total sales will be 233243243 or something like that.
Is it wrong to scroll through the elements of a string array the way I've done in this code? If so, what is the proper way to move down the elements of a string array with a loop. Thanks!
