How many times should the value of inputCount be read?

[Chrisanchez]

First, read in an input value for variable inputCount. Then, read inputCount integers from input and output each integer on a newline after the string "value - ".
Ex: If the input is 2 25 55, the output is:
value - 25
value - 55

Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int inputCount; int i; cin >> inputCount; for(i=0; inputCount > i | | inputCount < i; ++i){ cin >> inputCount; cout << "value - " << inputCount << endl; } return 0; }

I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong, I able to get the output that I wanted but it keeps repeating the last output that is needed. for example the output that I'm getting is "value - 25 value - 55 value -55 . . ." and it keeps repeating the last output.

How many times should the program read inputCount according to the problem statement? How many times does your program read inputCount?

It should read inputCount 2 times and output the values after the initial stated amount of times. for example the values are 3, 20, 26, -20. So it should read the 3 as how many times down the list it should output, for example the code output should be 20, 26, -20. But my code for some reason, i do not know, will read the last value, -20, and continue to repeat it for more than 10 times when I need it to read it once.

It should read inputCount 2 times

Please convince me that the problem statement really says this. Show me the exact quote and explain why you think the program should read the value of inputCount two times. I suggest using short and clear sentences.

This is the question that they are asking me:

Ex: If the input is 2 25 55, the output is:
value - 25
value - 55

I have already read the problem statement in post #1. There is no need to repeat it. I asked you to provide a small quote that says that the value of inputCount should be read twice. Do you agree, for example, that the phrase 'output each integer on a newline after the string "value - "' has nothing to do with reading inputCount? Then why do you quote it? Please quote only the relevant part that says how many times inputCount should be read. Also describe how you interpret that quote, why do you think it says what is says.
