C++ Adding Numbers In A Loop Exercise

Question

I am currently learning to code c++ by using the web page program, where I am doing a course. Now recently I got the following exercise:

Using a while or a do-while loop, make a program that asks the user to enter numbers and keeps adding them together until the user enters the number 0.

I wrote the following code in the hope that it would bring the exercise to conclusion:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void){
int sum = 0;
int number;
do
{
    cout <<endl;
    cin >> number;
    sum += number;
    cout << "The total so far is: " << sum << endl;
} while (number != 0);
cout << "The total is: " << sum << endl;
}

Yet when I run the code I get the following feedback from the website (there are two links one on the left and the other on the right):

Instructions of the exercise and Webpage feedback on the exercise

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong, alternatively can you propose an alternative solution then the code I provided? Thank you for any feedback!

Answer 1

The working code is:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
  int sum = 0, numbers;
  do{
  cout << "The total so far is: " << sum << endl;
  cin >> numbers;
  cout<< "Number: "<< numbers;
  sum += numbers;
} while (numbers != 0);

cout << "The total is: " << sum << endl;
return 0;
}

You have a mistake in the line cout>>endl;. Also, the output should match the instructions. This is why your answer was "wrong".
