C++ question

[jus71n742]

I am not sure what kind of loop I want to use for this but I am thinking a for or if statement.
what I am trying to do is for example I have an input of say 44 and for each 10 I give someone a point so an input of 44 is 4pts.
I would also like to figure out the flip side of that
say input is 4 is minus 1 so the input would result in -4 pts.

I have been reading but can't get a clear understanding of how to go about it

any assistance is greatly appreciated

I don't see where the loop fits in; you could just use integer division (if you want to discard the rest):


int a = 44;
int b = 10
int points = a/b //gets assigned 4

Can you explain a little more, if that's not what you want to do?

points is going to be a variable to keep a running total so in my other example 44 = 4 pts then the other was -4 pts then your total will be 0 ( they will all be added up later) I have points set up as a completely separate int. there will be a few more statements to input numbers I am just getting my pseudo code done right now

if you mean that given an input value you want to add one point for each 10 in the input, and subtract one point for each 1 left over, try:


int input = 44;
int points = input / 10; //points is set to 4
input = input % 10; // input is set to 4
points -= input;
