while loops not working?

[seanjordon]

anyone see whats wrong? It just displays hey there sean 100000000000 of times XD

Now i removed the ; on my while its an infinite loop?

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <string>
using namespace std

int main()
{
	int x =1;
	while (x <= 10);
	{
		cout << "Hey there sean" << endl;
		x =+1;
	}

	return 0;
}

In the loop you set x to 1 so it will always stay below 10.

I found out why i had to do x = x+1 not x =+1

As Peter87 says:

x =+1;

This is actually: x = +1;, which is the same as x = 1;

If you want to increment x you want this:

x += 1;

// or

++x;
