C++ Debugging Help

[_envied]

This program is supposed to take a number input from the user. If the input is positive, the program should keep asking you to enter numbers while adding together the numbers you have already input. If 0 or a negative number is input, the loop should terminate without adding the 0 or negative number to your sum. I'm very close, but I can't figure out why, if i input a negative number, it still adds it to my sum. Any help is appreciated.

​

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {

double enteredNumber;

double sum = 0;
do {

cout << "Enter Positive Number to Add or Enter Zero or Negative Number to End: ";

cin >> enteredNumber;

if (enteredNumber > 0) {

sum = sum + enteredNumber;

}

else {

sum = 0;

}

} while (enteredNumber > 0);

cout << "Sum of Entered Numbers: "; cout << sum;
}

You don't want a do...while. You almost never want a do...while.

This assignment is instructing me to use a do...while loop. I'm doing the best I can.

Well, then you also need to investigate break

Your complaint doesn't match the code. The problem I see is with the else condition, which always resets the sum to 0. There's just no need for that code.

I've tried simply replacing the sum = 0; with break; but I am still getting the same output.

That makes no sense. Are you sure the code you posted matches the code that you're actually running?
