SUM function within for loop, C++ - c++

Question

Looking for some insight on how to calculate a sum of user inputted numbers within a for statement and print it after the for loop has been completed.
So far I have this code:
//this code will sort 2 numbers then print them in ascending order and
before exiting, add them all together
// then average them
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int,char**) {
int n, m, z, sort1, sort2;
for (n=0;n<3;n++){
cout << " enter two integers (n n): ";
cin >> m;
cin >> z;
if (m>z){
sort1 = z;
sort2 = m;
}
else{
sort1 = m;
sort2 = z;
}
cout << sort1 << sort2 << endl;
}
int sum = m+z;
int sum2 = m+z+sum;
float sum3= m+z+sum2;
cout << " sum of all numbers entered: " << sum << endl;
cout << " average of the numberes entered: " << sum3 /6 << endl;
}
So I know that the sum function i have is incorrect, it only evaluates the last m+z entered by the user and not the others. If i put the sum function in the loop, once it breaks, it dumps all information within the loop rendering the sum value obsolete. Wondering if there's another way to achieve the sum function within the loop but only print once outside the loop.
Are there any other loops that don't delete information within the loop that you can extract outside?

Answer 1

All loops in C++ are scoped, that means that any variables declared within a scope are not accessible outside (of the scope) nor will they persist to the next iteration.
int sum = 0; // declare sum outside of loop
for(int n = 0; 0 < 3; n++)
{
int m, z; // These will be reset every iteration of the for loop
cout << " enter two integers (n n): ";
cin >> m;
cin >> z;
/*
Sort and print goes here...
*/
sum += m + z;
}
std::cout << "The sum: " << sum <<std::endl;

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int total = 0, i, j, sort1, sort2;
//this For-Loop will loop three times, every time getting two new
//integer from the user
for (int c = 0; c < 3; c++) {
cout << "Enter two integers ( n n ): ";
cin >> i;
cin >> j;
//This will compare if first number is bigger than the second one. If it
//is, then second number is the smallest
if (i > j) {
sort1 = j;
sort2 = i;
}
else {
sort1 = i;
sort2 = j;
}
cout << "The numbers are: " << sort1 << " and " << sort2 << endl;
//This statement will add into the variable total, the sum of both numbers entered before doing another loop around
total += i + j;
}
cout << "The sum of all integers entered is: " << total << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
