I can not get down test case 4, Cheer Creator, C++

Question

My code is
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int x;
cin >> x;
if (x > 10) {
cout << "High Five";
} else if (x <= 10 && x >= 1) {
for(x; x<10 ; x++) {
cout << "Ra!"; }
} else {
cout << "shh";
}
}
For some reason everything works except test case four, which I suspect is input 10

Answer 1

The loop that prints "Ra!" should execute x times. This code executes it 10 - x times.

Answer 2

yesiamavdol As Brian indicated, the problem is how many times your for loop runs.

Since you use the same variable x as both input variable and for loop counter,
It executes 10-x times instead of x times.

EXAMPLE - 6 yards, so read in x = 6.
So your for loop starts at 6, increments each time, and stops at 10.
6(Ra),7(Ra),8(Ra),9(Ra),10(stop)
Ra! only 4 times (10-6) instead of intended 6 times.

You should either
👉 create a second variable y in the for loop and count to x
int y=0; y<x; y++
Or
👉 stick with one variable x and count down instead of up
x; x>0; x--

GOOD DEBUGGING TIPS
👉 Trace the execution of code by hand on paper if code simple enough.
👉 Add temporary print statements for changing variables to see how they change as program runs
