i can not figure out this problem can any of you help it should be easy its for my intro programing class?

Write a program that includes a function named checkNum. The program contains a loop that prompts the user to input an integer between or including 1 and 10. After the user has inputted a value, pass the value to the function checkNum. If the value is not between or including 1 and 10, the function should display the message "Try again". The loop in the main program should keep prompting the user to input a number until he has successfully inputted a number between or including 1 and 10.

int x = 0

cout>x
do

if(x >= 1 && x 10))

this should be it, could be wrong, seeming I haven't done c++ in ages.

dunno why, but half it got deleted, here it is:

int x = 0;
cout>x;

do
{

if(x >= 1 && x 10))

this should be it, could be wrong, seeming I haven't done c++ in ages.

For some reason it wont let me post it, sorry bud :(

Try this:

// X = the vaule that the user typed in
// the previos function that you sed you
// have made

void checknum()
{

if (x >= 1 | x < 11)
{ cout << "Succes!!\n"; some_function(); }
else
{ cout << "Wrong input!! \n"; }
}

Im a little rusty on the IF stuff so
this might be wrong as well!!!

PS: If you are a complete newbie to C++
you need to know some other stuff.
And if thats the case contact me

The if should have an 'and' ('&&'), not a binary or ('|').

it needs a do while loop, cause it has to keep doing it until you get a # that is suitable.

#include [iostream.h]

short checkNum(int);

int main(void)
{

short flag;
int input;

flag = -1;

for(;;)
{
cout [[ "Enter a number between 1 and 10: ";
cin ]] input;

flag = checkNum(input);

if(flag == 0) break;
}

return 0;
}

short checkNum(int number)
{
short flag;

if(number ] 10 || number [ 1)
{
flag = -1;
cout [[ "Try again" [[ endl;
}
else
{
flag = 0;
cout [[ "Bingo" [[ endl;
}

return flag;
}

Since this is an intro class, this example is very basic to say the least, yet it *could* offer you some insight as to how to approach the problem.

HTH

"flag" should be boolean also checksum, and checksum can be shorter.
