The for statement

[epicjomi]

Can someone help me do this question?

"Write a for loop that computes the sum of the odd number from 1 to a maximum value entered by the user."

please help me, my teacher isn't helping me that much

[vlad from moscow]

I could help but I do not know what is the maximum value of the user.:)

[epicjomi]

The user should decide what maximum value he/she will be using.

Tell your teacher about arithmetic progression's sum :)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

const unsigned int user_number = _USER_NUMBER_

unsigned long long sum = 0;
for (unsigned int z = 1; z < user_number; z++)
   sum += z;

cout << sum << endl;

[epicjomi]

I need a for loop statement in it :(

[Chervil]

for (unsigned int z = 1; z <= user_number; z += 2)
   sum += z;

cout << sum << endl;

Odd numbers go up in steps of 2.

Never mind the question, my teacher changed it into:

"Write a for loop that computes the sum of every number from 1 to the MAXIMUM VALUE that the user entered"

Need help :(

[Chervil]

There's plenty of help already here is this thread.

The only bit left for you to do is to get the user input.

[epicjomi]

Yep I got it!

just changed z += 2 into z ++ .

Great, Thanks Chervil, I got a perfect score :3

That's only part of the job. The important part is to understand and learn this topic :)
