Hello all,

I am trying to finish an assignment in my programming class and I can't seem to get this compilation to work... For some strange reason the program will not sum the elements in the array... It is only returning the first input that I enter... Any hints??? I know that a for loop would make more sense, but the assignment asks for recursion to be used...



#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int arraySum(const int formalAray[], int lower, int upper);

int main()
{
int list[10];

cout << "Please enter 10 numbers to calculate their sum... " << endl
<< endl << endl;

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
cin >> list[i];

cout << endl << endl << "The numbers you entered are: " << endl;

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
cout << list[i] << ' ';

cout << endl << endl;

cout << "The sum of the ten numbers you entered is: " << arraySum(list, 0, 9) << endl
<< endl << endl;

return 0;
}

int arraySum(const int formalArray[], int lower, int upper)
{
int sum = 0, temp;

if(lower == upper)
return formalArray[lower];
else
return sum + arraySum(formalArray, lower + 1, upper);
}

Hi dear,

You have written a good code an efficirnt one indeed I just don't get how could you miss the silly mistake.


I don't think is at all needed. replace it with that's it. there you go.

Happy coding

Wow, that was easy! I do not know what I was thinking... Thanks!
