Need Help With Arrays...

[Vegiitto]

Okay so I'm at the University of Alberta testing out programs (I'm 15 btw with a year of programming and no C++). Anyway we have to do this program where it asks the user to input 10 numbers (All on different lines) and then put all those numbers on a single line and then average out all the numbers. Now we have to use an array using a while or for loop (Well they want me to do both...) now I've never done any array type coding so this is obviously where I'm getting stuck at.

Arrays are covered in in any introductory book on C or C++.

I can only help you with specific problems.

Please read the posting guidelines.

Okay help me with the code so the program asks and takes into an array the 10 numbers that he/she puts in.

[weaknessforcats]

OK. Show me what you have so far.

int num;
          num = 0;
          while (num < 3) {
          cout << "Enter a number: ";
          cin >> num[0];
          cout << "The 0th element in the array is " << num[0];
          num = num + 1;
}

I know it's all wrong...but like I said I have never done this and have no idea.

int num;
num = 0;
while (num < 3) {
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num[0];
cout << "The 0th element in the array is " << num[0];
num = num + 1;
}

You have done arrays in class right? Why not go through your notes first or an arrays tutorial before you try this again?

[Vegiitto]

no that's the thing...I haven't done arrays or C++...so I have no idea how to do them

Go through this then give your program another short.

Okay thanks...that helped with declaring the array but did nothing towards how I can ask the user 10 times to put a number then take it into the array

Refer back to your previous problem. The one with the while and if elses.

[Vegiitto]

Is this the right start though?

int num[9];

while (num < 10) {
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> num[0];
cout << "The 0th element in the array is " << num[0];
num = num + 1;
}

If not could you help out on what to put and where

That won't help you to get this done on your own in the future.
All those things that were said in class really were important. For example, the fact that variables have one type. So you can't use the same variable to store both an int and an array. Do refer back to that link I gave you and see how the variables were being defined.

You don't realize that I wasn't in a class with this like I've stated many times before this. I have not learned this stuff and am asking for help...this is not a class

Yes, sometimes I'm slow to understand some things. Thanks for repeating.
I hope you are going over that link again now. It even has an example that covers more than half of what you want to do here.

[Vegiitto]

Don't know if that was sarcasm or not...but yes I'm going over it

It was not. If I wasn't about to knock off I'd prove it to you.
Anyway you're probably too busy reading that link to pay attention ...

[Vegiitto]

Knock off? What is that?

[r035198x]

Knock off? What is that?

Go home and get some sleep. That's what I meant. It's not a good phrase to use so don't use it.
I'm going home now (use that).

Ok.. I hope this code will help you..
