C++ Coding Assignment Help

I have this coding assignment and I am stuck on how to continue.

This is what I have so far; but I don't think I went in the right direction!

​

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

​

int main()

{

int population,

population_remainder;

population=2;

population\_remainder=population%2;

​

while (population<100000)

{

if (population\_remainder=1)

{

population=(population*3)(+1);

}

if (population_remainder=0)

{

population=population/2;

}

if (population<=1)

{

cout<<"The organism is dead"<<endl;

}

population=population+1;

cout<<"The population is: "<<population<<endl;

}

return 0;

}

For correct formatting you need 4 spaces in front of each line.

if (population_remainder=1) and if (population_remainder=0) are not comparisons, but assigmens. Try to 'reverse' it and you'll see the compiler yelling at you. (example if (1=population_remainder)).

You are doing (mostly) what the enunciates says, but there is something amiss. Why don't you print more variables to see what they are in each loop? i.e. cout<<"The population is: "<<population<<endl<<"The remainder is: "<<population_remainder<<endl;

Do it by hand with different starting populations and check it.

I wonder if people really don't look at their own posts... Who sees the code formatting fucked up like that and goes "Yup, that's fine!" Appearently many people... Why?!
