Can You Tell Me What Is It For?

Ok, so I build this

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int sumSequensce(void)
{
    int accumulator=0;
    for(;;)
    {
        int value = 0;
        cout << "Enter next number: " << endl;
        cin >> value;

        if(value<0)
        {
            break;
        }

        accumulator = accumulator + value;
    }

    return accumulator;
}

int main(int nNumberofArgs,char* pszArgs[])
{
    cout << "This program sums multiple series\n"
         << "of numbers. Terminate each sequence\n"
         << "by entering a negative number.\n"
         << "Terminate the serie by entering two\n"
         << "negative numbers in a row.\n"
         << endl;

         int accumulatedValue;
         for(;;)
         {
             cout << "Enter next sequence: " << endl;
             accumulatedValue = sumSequensce();

             if (accumulatedValue==0)
             {
                 break;
             }

             cout << "The total is " << accumulatedValue << "\n" << endl;
         }

         cout << "Thank you" << endl;

         system ("PAUSE");
         return 0;
}

but when I compile it, it looks like this

This program sums multiple series
of numbers. Terminate each sequence
by entering a negative number.
Terminate the serie by entering two
negative numbers in a row.

Enter next sequence:
Enter next number:

The input for "next sequence" is skiped, so this is my fault, or this

int sumSequensce(void)
{
    int accumulator=0;
    for(;;)
    {
        int value = 0;
        cout << "Enter next number: " << endl;
        cin >> value;

        if(value<0)
        {
            break;
        }

        accumulator = accumulator + value;
    }

    return accumulator;
}

is useless?

Thanks

your code

cout << "Enter next sequence: " << endl;
             accumulatedValue = sumSequensce();

             if (accumulatedValue==0)
             {
                 break;
             }

You need to add a

cin >> "Variable"

to get it into the seqencse function
