I'm having trouble with my new lab assignment and apparently I suck at making sentinel control loop.

Halp me.

y u no c++

 

#include 

int main ()
{
   char name[20]; 
   int voteA, voteB, voteC, voteD, ttlnmbr;
   float percentA, percentB, percentC, percentD;
   cout<<"Enter candidate name";
   cin>>name;
   cout<<"Insert the number of voters";
    cin>>voteA; // okay, what the hell is going on here. Didn't the instructions say the input was 1 number per line? take an int and switch it
   while (count != 0) // != is the correct operator, and you DON'T need a fucking ;
   {
         ttlnmbr = voteA + voteB + voteC + vote D; // DO end these with a ;!
         percentA = (float)((voteA * 100) / ttlnmbr); // I'm being a cast nazi
   }
   // what now? aren't you supposed to output it somehow? printf/sprintf?
}

Wow, I am still a beginner. Good luck, though mate. Also, those names....

Your intentions don't make much sense to me, and you should reread the instructions.

Why are you asking for the name? They are already given.

You are only asking for a single result..? make a nice little for loop that stores every number in an array, until 0 is entered.

Again, only processing a single result, include the calculation of the percentage in that same for loop, and store them to another array.

That while loop will run forever, or not at all, as count isn't declared.

You still need to print the results, use another for loop that prints every result on another line. (note that the names are in the order as in the instructions, the results are put in in the same order)

 

I think that's all

simple switch and while loop
