I need help with ifs, elses, and looping

[lSgtPepperl]

[u][b][b]#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int cash;
cout << "How much money do you have? ";
cin >> cash;

int loopCount;
int cost;
cout << "How much does this product cost? ";
cin >> cost;
{
loopCount = 0;
}

int sum = (cash - cost);
if (cash > cost);
cout << "Looks like you'll have enough money to pay for the product" << endl;
cout << "The amount of cash back will be " << sum << endl;

if (cash == cost);
cout << "Looks like you just have enough" << endl;
cout << "The amount of cash back will be " << (sum - cost) << endl;

if (cash < cost);
cout << "Looks like you'll need more money to buy the product" << endl;
cout << "The amount of money needed to buy the product is " << (cost - cash) << endl;

return 0;
}
//The goal of the program is to put in a certain amount of money a person has, then it subtracts the total amount that a product costs. the program will respond with a total amount of money as well as something to say about being able to buy more products or not, it will then ask for a second item and its cost then find the sum of that and so on

The problem is that I cant finish the if and else statement, and the program doesnt loop to ask if there are anymore products, and the program only runs if i have the if statements written above in the certain order.

Also this is what outputs when i put in the cash of 10 and the cost of 9:
How much money do you have? 10
How much does this product cost? 9
Looks like you'll have enough money to pay for the product
The amount of cash back will be 1
Looks like you just have enough
The amount of cash back will be -8
Looks like you'll need more money to buy the product
The amount of money needed to buy the product is -1

Please use the code brackets - it helps a lot.

First off - you need to insert a loop.

for(loopCount = 0; loopCount < Yourchoicehere; loopCount++)
{
  //Stuff you want to loop through
}

Youchoicehere could be a number to loop to, or you can use user input as well to end it.



Next you need to use brackets with if statements, what is in between the brackets.

if (cash == cost)
{
  cout << "Looks like you just have enough" << endl;
  cout << "The amount of cash back will be " << (sum - cost) << endl;
} 
else if (condition)
{
  // Code
}

if, else, and loop statements stop at the first semicolon or after the following braces.

Newlines/indentation/whitespace is irrelevent

Examples:

if( some_condition )
  PartOfIfStatement();  // <- semicolon, if stops here

NotPartOfIfStatement();

//...
if( some_condition )
{  // <- opening brace
  PartOfIfStatement();
  AlsoPartOfIfStatement();
}  // <- closing brace, if stops here

NotPartOfIfStatement();

Your problem is you have a semicolon immediately after the if, effectively making it worthless:

if (cash < cost);  // <- semicolon, if stops here (ie:  does nothing)

cout << "Looks like you'll need more money to buy the product" << endl; // <- not part of if statement
