for ( k=0 ; k<5 ; k++ )
{
result += billy[k];
}
cout << result;
return 0;
}
This is the part of my code written in the main that is having the issue. More specifically, the result += billy[k] line is throwing the error:
for ( k=0 ; k<5 ; k++ )
{
result += billy[k];
}
cout << result;
This corresponds with:
//tutorial #3.1 Initializing and accessing the values of an array
float billy [] = {16, 2, 77, 40, 12071};
float k, result=0;
I need help fixing this code but most importantly I want to know why my code threw me this error and how I could make it better (at an elementary level--obviously, I'm not implementing advanced concepts here).
EDIT 11:10PM I forgot to switch it back to int. I had int initially but due to the error I figured I would try float to see if it made a difference.
for (int k = 0; k < 5; k++)That would make it easier to spot mistakes such as the wrong types used.
