Code: Select all

   int health = 100, damage = 4;
   for(int x = 3; x-- >= 0; health = health - damage)
   {
      cout << health << "\n";
   }

That will work.

First change, "x-- >= 0" vs "x-- == 0". A for loop needs a statement that results in true, as soon as the statement is false the loop will stop, your statement does the opposite. Second change 'health = health - damage' vs 'health - damage', you where just giving the for loop a number without telling it what to do with that number ...

thanks! ;]] <3

@Meltra Bour: BTW use the -= operator like this (health -= damage) instead of (health = health - damage)

interesting, didn't know that trick yet
