Help creating a Do-While loop

[User 10747711]

I need help starting a do-while loop in my program that runs up to 10 time that asks the user to enter up to 10 scores, which include the slope and rating for the course, and calculates the handicap for each score. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here's what I have so far:

//This program calculates a golfers handicap.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

int score, slope;
double rating, handicap;
string name;

cout << "This program calculates a golfer's handicap.\n";

//Have the user to input their name, score, slope, and handicap.
cout << "Enter your name: ";
cin >> name;
cout << "Hello " << name << endl;
cout << "Please enter your score: ";
cin >> score;
cout << "Please enter the course slope: ";
cin >> slope;
cout << "Please enter the course rating: ";
cin >> rating;

//Calculate the golfers handicap
handicap = (score-rating) * 113 / slope ;
cout << "Your handicap is " << handicap << endl;

return 0;

}

think count adding a counter to count the number of scores, maybe

int scorecount = 0;

and at the end of a score 'collect', increment the counter

scorecount += 1;

then you need to add something like

do
{
// something here
}
while scorecount //some test here ;

around your logic - you textbooks/google should also be able to fill these gaps in for you Question : are you sure do-while is what you really need here - what are the pitfalls with it ? 'g'

Thank you very much Garth. Yes my text calls for a Do-While loop that runs up to 10 times and asks the user to enter up to 10 scores, which include the slope and rating for the course, and calculates the handicap for each score. Then I'll need to use either parallel arrays or a two-dimensional array in order to store the score, slope and rating for each entry, and variables for the handicap accumulator and number of scores entered.

fair enough - you can see then using a counter, that you might like to use that as the array index to store the values as well - just a thought :-) 'g'
