Question

I’m working on a project and have written code that determines how much money is spent in one day – the only problem is that I need to make it so the day 1 totals are outputted, then day 2 starts (with just the day 2 totals outputted), and then day 3 starts (with just the day 2 totals outputted) and then after all 3 days have ended, a total of totals from the 3 days is outputted. I’ll paste my code in, but for some reason the formatting is messed up. Thank you!

Answer 1

This is a simple loop that increments a single counter three times. From this, you can see hoe to generalize it for all your counters.

int someCounter = 0;

for (int day=0; day<3; ++day) { // loop three times

  // do your cin input here
  int tmp;
  cin >> tmp;
  someCounter += tmp; // increment running total

}

// print the total

If you have many counters, you may consider creating a struct or class holding these, defining operator+= for that class, and overriding istream operator>> for that class, but I get a feeling that may go beyond what is expected from your assignment. In any case, there are plenty of questions on SO explaining how to do that.
