how do I count this?

Answer 1

Not sure if you use cin or have an array ready with the inputs, but here are examples of what you can do:

int count = 0;
int B = 42;
//main loop, enter a negative number to exit it
while (B > 0) {
cin >> B;
if (B > 0) {
count += B;
}
}
cout << count << endl;

int count = 0;
int B[4] = {5, 6, 7, 8};
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
count += B[i];
}
cout << count << endl;

wow I didn't think of using an array before!
Thank you very much, it works perfectly fine! :)
