Array function

Question

I facing a problem which I not sure what my code goes wrong.
The question require to use array function and sum 6 integers value (random get the value) and the total must equal to 322. Below is my code.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int sum(int value[], int j)
{
int sum = 322;
for (int i = 0; i < j; i++)
sum += value[i];
return sum;
}

int main()
{
int i;
int value[ ] = { 0,0,0,0,0,0 };
for (i = 0; i <=5; i++)
{
value[i] = rand();
}
int j = sizeof(value) / sizeof(value[0]);
cout << "Total six value are: " << sum(value, j);
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Let's see

The total must be equal to 322 but the values are initialized by rand() (which returns a int from 0 to RAND_MAX)
So, I don't understand what the question is asking you to do

stdlib.h and cstdlib are the same

sum gives you the sum of 322+sum(value)

You already know the size of value (=6) so just
int value[6];
Or if you want to also initialize them
int value[6]{};

Why declaring i in main if you use it only for the for-loop?

i<6 is better than i<=5

As I said you already know the size of value, const int j = 6 (you could even make it global)

(It would be better putting a endl or a "\n" at the end of that cout)

(You don't need return 0;)

Thanks ! The question is generate random 6 numbers and the sum must be 322.
