Question

The program executes the first two statements then stops. Where am I going wrong?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int numNumber, num, count = 0, pos = 0, neg = 0, z = 0;
// ask user for a number of numbers
cout << "How many numbers will you enter? ";
cin >> numNumber;
for (count; count <= numNumber; count++)
{
cout << "Enter 1st number. ";
cin >> num;
count++;
if(count++ == 1)
{
cout << "Enter 2nd number. ";
cin >> num;
count++;

}
else if (count++ == 2)
{
cout << "Enter 3rd number. ";
cin >> num;
count++;
}
else if (count++ == 3)
{
cout << "Enter 4th number. ";
cin >> num;
count++;
}
else if (count++ == 4)
{
cout << "Enter 5th number. ";
cin >> num;
count++;
}


}


system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

you don't say what your doing with the numbers, but I believe this is what you want

you were getting much to complicated

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int numNumber, num, count = 0, pos = 0, neg = 0, z = 0;
// ask user for a number of numbers
cout << "How many numbers will you enter? ";
cin >> numNumber;
for (count=1; count <= numNumber; count++)
{
cout << "Enter number "<<count<<": ";
cin >> num;
}

system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
