Thread: Help with exercise.

My code is working. It currently asks the user to enter 10 numbers via a ForLoop. What I cant figure out how to do, is how I would go about adding the number that the user enters first to the second and adding that to the third etc? Any ideas?

import sun.jvm.hotspot.gc_implementation.parallelScavenge.PSYoungGen;
 
import java.util.Scanner;

public class TotalNumbers
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      String name;
      final int REPEATUNTIL=10;
      int number,totalnumber, numberentered;
 
      Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
 
      System.out.println("What is your name?");
      name=keyboard.nextLine();
 
      System.out.println("Please enter 10 whole numbers.");
      for (int count = 1; count <= REPEATUNTIL; number++)
      {
         System.out.println("Please enter a number ");
         number=keyboard.nextInt();
 
      }
 
 
 
   }//main
}//class

You already have a totalnumber variable. Just initialize that to 0 and then each loop add whatever the person entered to that variable.

Would this require another variable? To add what the person entered would it be:
totalnumber=number+..? Can you tell me what it would be?

Thank you Norm.
