Is it me or my compiler?

[lyle777]

I would luv to know if there is any problem with this simple code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int num;
    for(num=50; num <= -50; num = num-10) cout << num << " ";
 
    cin.get();
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

It compiles and runs (that is doesn't crash) on my machine. If you feel that there are some problems, tell what is the expected result and what it actually does.

It is almost certainly you and not your compiler; always.

Perhaps you should describe what you expect the program to do and what it actually does but as a hint I suspect that you for loop condition is not doing anything like what you indent it to do. Work out the first loop iteration in your head.

I'm pretty sure you wanted >= -50. Otherwise, the loop doesn't run!
