    <p>Let me make sure I understand this correctly, your assignment asks for a user input for a given number and store it in <code>num</code> and then display a running sum of 1 up to <code>num</code>?</p> <p>If that's the case, inside your loop you <em>override</em> the user's input of <code>num</code> when you call <code>num = 1</code>. You'll just calculate the running sum of 1-50 every time.</p> <p>To correct that, you need to use a different variable to keep incrementing, i.e. <code>count</code> or the variable <code>i</code> since it's already been declared. Then you should loop up from <code>i</code> to <code>num</code> as long as <code>i &lt;= num</code>.</p> <p>Other than that, I cannot see any problems and it should work correctly.</p> <h3>Note to add about a good investment:</h3> <p>It would definitely be worth while to see if the IDE you are developing in has a <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;q=C%2B%2B+debugger&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=g1g-c2g1g-c3g3&amp;aql=&amp;oq=&amp;gs_rfai=&amp;fp=a2bb30ecf4f91972" rel="nofollow noreferrer">debugger</a> you can use. Debugging is a great tool to help figure out why your code is not being executing as it is intended to.</p> <p>If there is no debugger (<em>which would surprise me</em>) might I suggest <em>my go-to</em> alternative method of <em>stepping</em> through the <code>for</code> loop on a sheet of paper and compare the <code>sum</code> to another hand-written solution already solved, i.e. <code>num = 5</code> <code>sum = 1+2+3+4+5 = 15</code></p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>

    1. COThe assignment wants us to add 1 +2+3+ 4 etc until we reach the number that the user input...

    2. COGood catch. But in this case, the code compiles because there is an extra starting brace... and it should run correctly since the for loop has only one statement... I think maybe someone should link the original poster to a style guide.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
