Help making simple C++ adding test score program
Author
I am taking the tutorials from www.cplusplus.com and I am on the part with variables, datatypes, and contants. I am trying to use the information they give me to make my own little programs along the way. Here is one that is supposed to add up test scores if you enter 3 of them.
You have to have your values of your scores entered BEFORE you can do calcs on them,... Otherwise it will just use ramdom numbers from some where.
*Yeah,... first post I think I answered right for a question,....*

you need to set result after you got your 3 scores
for your random numbers, it''s only because when you create a variable, it is assigned an adress in memory, so the value in the variable may be anything that is at this adress in memory so you can never rely on variable to be 0 at creation.
hope that helps

You need to do your calculation after you have recived the value of the variables. so do

LOL. I''m just wondering, what language supports the thing that he did?

XD He means what language supports the calculation of a result before the variables are actually assigned.

I have another question:
Now I am trying to make it display the percent out of 300 points( assuming all the test were out of 100pts)
I made percent a declared variable, then I did percent = result \ 300( I put it after this time....or did I??)
Thanks

you need to do the calculation after you have been given the variables but you need to do the calculation before you display the result.
