Question

when I subtract comes up with a random number but when I add it comes with the right answer please help me

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int a;
int b;
int sym;
int sum;
int sub;
cout<<"put numder\n";
cin>> a;
cout<<"put another number\n";
cin>> b;
cout<<"are you adding(1) or subtrating(2) \n";
cin>> sym;
cout<<"output\n";

if (sym = sum){
sum = a + b;
cout<< sum;
}

if(sym = sub){
sub = a - b;
cout<<sub;
}

return 0;
}

Answer 1

sym is of int data type. It can accept integer data. So for addition it must accept 1 and for subtraction it must take 2 as input. In the condition checking for calculation make it if(sym ==1) for addition and if(sym==2) for subtraction.

Answer 2

nice programs
