Hi,

I have created an array called intDigit[]. It holds 8 integer values. I am trying to sum these values excluding the 4th and 5th ones:

for (i=1; i<=8; i++)
{

//fill array here

}

//create if statement to exclude the 2 values

if (i!=4 || i!=5)
{
intSum = intSum + intDigit[i];
}


I assume this if statement is incorrect but i'm not sure what I need to do. Can anyone help???

Thanks

First, arrays in c++ are zero-based. An array of 8 elements is indexed as 0 - 7 and not 1 - 8. So ...

for ( i = 0; i < 8; i++ )
{

//fill array here

}

Secondly, you need another for( ) loop around the sum routine

//create if statement to exclude the 2 values

for ( i = 0; i < 8; i++ )
{
if (i != 4 && i != 5)
intSum = intSum + intDigit[i];
}

Third if you use || (or) when you're checking whether the index is 4 or 5 then you'll get numbers 4 and 5 in your sum. Use && (and) instead

Thanks coderitr! Works perfectly now.
