I'm beginning to learn c++ with the free online codecademy course, and I'm not sure if it's a bug with their IDE or an error in my code.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main() {
for (int i = 0; i > 0; i--) {
std::cout << i << " bottles of beer on the wall\n";
std::cout << i << " bottles of beer\n.";
std::cout << "take one down and guzzle it down\n";
std::cout << i - 1 << " bottles of beer on the wall.\n\n";
}
}
This is supposed to loop those strings until the number gets down to 1. Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Your variable i is never bigger than 0.
I think that you meant to write int i = 10;

Answer 2

#include <string>
int main() {
for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
std::cout << i << " bottles of beer on the wall\n";
std::cout << i << " bottles of beer\n.";
std::cout << "take one down and guzzle it down\n";
std::cout << i - 1 << " bottles of beer on the wall.\n\n";
}
}
I am not sure what your code is supposed to loop through. but this will run 10 times. you say you have a string. so try to get a variable to assign to a function string.length() to get the length assigned to i and then the loop will run as many times as the number of characters in the string.
the above code will run 10 times though
