Can anyone show me how to read in an unknown amount of integers. And then add them together?

Question

Im sooo bad at programming!

Answer 1

There are two ways to this. User-defined loops and Sentinel-controlled loops. The former let's the program query loop count (or number of integers to be input) from the user, e.g.

int count;

cout << "How many integers do you want to input?";
cin >> count;

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
// codes
}

Sentinel-controlled loops on the other hand, asks the user for each completed loop for continuation, e.g.

bool continue = true;

while (continue)
{
// codes

cout << "Input 1 to continue" << endl;
cin >> continue;
}

Take note that these implementations can have various forms. The above demonstrations are low-tier and can be improved.
