Question

This program does compile. But it does not give the expected output. It is supposed to raise the value of the input to its power all the way from 0 to 10. The only output seen is the number raised to the power 0 over and over again. what did I do wrong? help please.

// This program raises the user's number to the powers
// of 0 through 10.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int value;
char choice;

cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> value;
cout << "This program will raise " << value;
cout << " to the powers of 0 through 10.\n";
for (int count = 0; count <= 10; count)
{
cout << value << " raised to the power of ";
cout << count << " is " << pow(value, count);
cout << "\nEnter Q to quit or any other key ";
cout << "to continue. ";
cin >> choice;
if (choice == 'Q' || choice == 'q')
break;
}
return 0;
}

Answer:

You forgot to increment "count" value in the for loop.

Source code:

// This program raises the user's number to the powers
// of 0 through 10.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int value;
char choice;

cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> value;
cout << "This program will raise " << value;
cout << " to the powers of 0 through 10.\n";
for (int count = 0; count <= 10; count++) //here forgot to increment the count
{
cout << value << " raised to the power of ";
cout << count << " is " << pow(value, count);
cout << "\nEnter Q to quit or any other key ";
cout << "to continue. ";
cin >> choice;
if (choice == 'Q' || choice == 'q')
break;
}
return 0;
}
