Going Crazy Over Program

[Vegiitto]

okay here is the task I must do...but I can't do it for the life of me...can any one of you figure this code out and show it to me?



3. Modify the above program, so that if the number entered is lower than 10 a message, "That number is lower than 10" is printed. If the number entered is equal to 10, a message, "That number is equal to 10" is printed . If the number entered is higher than 10, a message "That number is valid" followed by the message "Done" is printed. You will need to use a while loop as well as an if-else statement.

Sample input and output :
Enter a number larger than 10 : 5
That number is lower than 10
Enter a number larger than 10 : 10
That number is equal to 10
Enter a number larger than 10 : 15
That number is valid
Done

Okay sorry...well the problem right now with my program is at random times (depending on the number I use) it will finish the program. The code looks okay but obviously is not...I'm fairly new to C++ and am not sure if my While loop is correct:

cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
cin >> integer;
while (integer == 10) {
cout << "That number is equal to ten" << endl;
cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
cin >> integer;

And if my if else statement is either:

cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
cin >> integer;
if (integer < 10)
{
cout << "That number is too small" << endl;
cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
cin >> integer;
}
else
{
cin >> integer;

That is the whole of my code...except the if else comes before the while.

You need to keep taking in input until the number is greater than 10 so the

 cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
              cin >> integer;

Should go into the while

int number = 0;
while(number < 10) {
     cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
                   cin >> number;
    //your if-else go here
}

Learn a proper use of while loop, also learn who to use break and continue statements. I have modified your code alittle bit

  cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
  while (true) {    
    cin >> integer;    
    if(integer==10)
      {
    cout << "That number is equal to ten" << endl;
    cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
      }
    else if(integer < 10)
      {
    cout << "That number is too small" << endl;
    cout << "Enter a number greater than 10: ";
      }
    else 
      {
    cout<<"That Number is valid"<<endl;
        cout<<"Done"<<endl;
    break;
      }
  }

Compare the structure of your solution to mine.
Generally avoid the while(true) construct if you can.

Okay I did this...it seemed to work for not stopping when I put a smaller number or the same...but when I put a bigger number it didn't work...will keep trying things but like I said I'm new to C++...but this was great, thanks for the help

Keeping trying things is the way to go. Only post when you're sure you've tried the best you can and help will always be available.
