Boolean and while loop

Hey guys, I’m wondering what is wrong with this code. It’s actually executed but still some error. Tell me please I’m stuck #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int i = 0; bool condition = true; while (!(i>5)) { cout << "You got the lesson" << endl; i++; } return 0; } https://code.sololearn.com/c0WcCb10gGVQ/?ref=app

The !( i > 5 ) expression was evaluated by using logical NOT and greater than operator which means the final result is logical, and can be treated as boolean-like data. Not sure what you mean by "use bool with while" I think you need to elaborate further on that part ...

You can use condition as while condition : bool condition = true; while( condition) { cout << "You got the lesson" << endl; /* inside loop, as a stop condition, change condition value to false by if block */ i++; if( i > 5 ) condition = false; }

Are they should be like this? #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int i = 0; bool condition = true; while (condition = !(i>5)) { cout << "You win girl" << endl; i++; } return 0; }

bool condition = true; //unused variable

Perhaps try removing the line bool condition = true I ran your code and realised that the issue was that you didn't use this variable in the program which shot the error that the Boolean variable condition is assigned a value, but it isn't used. Try removing it and the program should run fine :)

Simply assign the actual condition required ( !( i > 5 ) ) as value for variable <condition> while ( condition = !( i > 5 ) ) { // loop body code here ... } This way, <condition> value will be updated along with the change of value in variable <i> because we assign the evaluation result of !( i > 5 ) to variable <condition> just before loop decides (based on the evaluation result) whether to continue or to cease repetition.

It's depend on compiler modern compiler gives warnings if you have decleared any variables and u not using anywhere in program to avoid this you can remove it or print it

You have declared and incialized variable bool but you haven't used it in for loop. The loop executes anyway because variable i=0, and prints statement while i<5. So it prints statement 5 times. But if you use bool in loop than you can affect on this.
