Addition of integers in C++?

Question

I am trying to write a program that takes in 5 numbers from a user and then add the numbers to get the sum.
I declared
int a,b,c,d,e,sum; so that those would be my varibles.
I get all the numbers typed in in the program but the addition part makes no sense.
I tried
%d=%d+%d+%d+%d+%d, &sum, &a, &b, &c, &d, &e;
I get a bunch of errors saying syntax error found. found 'd' expecting";"
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You seem to be mistaking the printf statements of "%d=%d+%d+%d+%d+%d", &sum, &a, &b, &c, &d, &e being valid for if and for statements, etc. The printf statements only work with printf.

Similar to your other question, you only need to use the variables themselves.

sum = a + b + c + d + e;

You will probably only want to display the sum, so use
printf( "%d", sum);

Answer 2

what is this % sign for? & sign means the address of a variable in memory.

here is what you may want:

int main()
{
int a,b,c,d,e,sum;

// the part which takes in 5 numbers

sum=a+b+c+d+e;

// print out
return 0;
}

Answer 3

is that supposed to be a printf? lose the address refs in your variables. (get rid of the "&"s)

sum = a+b+c+d+e;
printf("%d = %d + %d + %d + %d + %d", sum, a, b, c, d, e);
