Press Enter to Add One

[Any Mouse]

I am new to c++ programing and am want to make a program in which if you press enter a number will increase by one. I can make the doesprogram loop and recognize 'enter', but when I try to put them together it doesn't work. Please help.

Try something like this:

//make sure you #include <iostream>
int count = 0; //variable to store count
while(count < 10){ //this will only run 10 times
    system("pause"); //wait for user to press enter - this will send the Windows shell command "pause", and wait for the user to press enter
    count++; //increment count
    std::cout << "Count: " << count << endl; //show count to user
}

You'll need a variable to store the running count, and after the user presses enter, it'll have to be incremented. Does that snippet make sense logically?

Trust Phil. He knows this stuff.

Thanks Andrew, I try.

You can write this with a for loop too, which has variable incrementing built in:

#include <iostream> //has cout

for ( int count = 1 ; count <= 10 ; count++ ) {
    system("pause"); //waits for user to press enter
    std::cout << "Count: " << count << std::endl;
}

std:: needs to be added to the front of STL functions like cout unless you specify "using namespace std;" at the top of the program.

Thanks that was very helpful.
