Why it is multiplying with 5 ? There is no "*".

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int num = 1;
int number;
int total = 0;

while (num <= 5) {
cin >> number;
total += number;
num++;
}
cout << total << endl;

return 0;
}

Answer 1

This is because in ur program while loop works for 5 times and do addition 5 times (total+=number). And we know adding a number five times is same as multiplying it with 5.

Answer 3

Why doesn't the cin get more inputs while inside the While loop?

Answer 4

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int num = 1;
int number;
int total = 0;

while (num <= 5) {
cin >> number;
total += number;
num++;
}
cout << total << endl;

return 0;
}
