Reducing numbers to 0

[bondman]

I am trying to count down a number.. using loops and functions.. but I seem to be having issues..

int decreaseNumber(int x) {
	
	while(x <= 0) {
		cout << x <<
		x = x - 1;
	}
}

int main() {

	decreaseNumber(5);

	return 0;
}

[Felicia123]

void decreaseNumber(int x) {
	
	while(x > 0) {
		cout << x << " ";
		x--; //To decrease your x value
	}
}

int main() {

	decreaseNumber(5);

	return 0;
}

do you get it?

First off, these do the same thing.

x--;
x = x - 1;

You had you're while-loop wrong, bondman.

void decreaseNumber(int x) { // You don't return anything, make it void?
	
	while(x >= 0) { // While it's greater/equal to 0, cout/decrement.
		cout << x << ' ';
		x = x - 1;
	}
}

int main() {

	decreaseNumber(5);

	return 0;
}
