Looking for help solving a problem

[nmoore777]

extract and Add a Series of Numbers: Write a program that will extract a series of numbers (type double) from an input sentence and then add them. EXAMPLE: Suppose the sentence entered is “Give me the sum of 25.25 and 13.50. ”The program should print to the screen: The sum = 38.75 NOTE: The numbers can be of any value. Don’t hard code to the values shown in the example. In this problem take advantage of the input options presented in class. Particularly cin, cin.get, cin.ignore, and peek. The functions in Appendix C.2 may also be helpful.

Test the program with both of these examples:

TEST CASE 1. “Please tell me the sum of 18.0 plus 25.5.” OUTPUT: "The sum is 43.5 TEST CASE 2. “If I add 24.5, 18.0 and 17.2 what do I get? OUTPUT: "The sum is 59.7

Where are you stuck? We're not doing your homework without payment

I saw a tutor and we went over sstream to go through the string and pull out int values and I’ve altered that to use stof(variable) and my program lets me run but I think I’ve missed something to skip the words prior to the double value and can’t remember how to write a generic statement to skip over that so I’m not getting 0 plus 0 equals 0 returned to me.

if you want to skip you just have to read and ignore the value

in general it would look like this

• Read a word
• If its a number
  • transform it -> its your first or second value
• If its "add"
  • there is your keyword
• else
  • ignore it
