***How would I make a loop so that it would add up all the numbers of birds and species from the text file. Right now it is just taking each type of specie and showing its number, but I want to add all up like for example: 305 + 567 + 4 + 31 + 60 + 143 = 1110

Here is my code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

struct birds
{
  string species;
  int number;      
};

const int ARRAY_SIZE = 200;
// take an array of players, initialize each object to some
//predefined state,.... 
void initialize (birds species[], int number);

//PRINT FUNCTION.... PRINT THE TEAM  ARRAY
void print(const birds species[], int number);

birds getBirds(fstream& inFile);

void print(birds s);
void bubbleSort(birds list[],  int length);

As you show the number of birds, add the number to a running total, like totlaBirds += numberOfBirds Be sure to zero the total before starting.

I did what you asked but it keeps printing out the wrong number of birds. What do you mean by adding it to yor running total? Would you put the sum in your for loop?

Here's where I tell you to turn your brain back on and think. If you want to add values to a running total, where would you put that add?

Let's get away from the computer. Sit down with pencil and paper and run through the task. Write down the steps you take -- in order -- from beginning to end. Then look at the Then look at your code. Does it follow what you wrote down? If not, fix it.

I know that you add it to the for loop. I did sum = sum + birds[ARRAY_SIZE] and it gave me a sum but not what I was looking for. I am in my first ever programming class and my teacher does a lousy job of explaining things.

... my teacher does a lousy job of explaining things.

So do you.

C'mon, man! You changed code, right? Do we know what it looks like now? No!

You have a problem, right? Do we know what it is? No! All you said was "not what I was looking for". Response - Then make it give you what you're looking for. You are in control of the computer.

If that's not good enough, what might be some good things to tell us? What would your instructor ask if you said that? Well, assume we will ask the same questions and just give us the info. Don't make us ask -- it'll take days to fix a problem you should be able to fix in 10 minutes.
