For some reason x won't increment. Please help

Question

I can't figure out why x won't increment. here is the block of code. I already have y declared as the users input.

for (whatever reason) {

int x = 2;

int h = y - y + x;

x++;

Answer 1

You are declaring a local variable inside of a for loop. This will make the variable have the value of 2 everytime the loop is executed, hence making your increment at the end useless.

A solution to this is to declare x outside of the for loop. Example.

int x = 2;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
{
     // do stuff

     x++;
}

Answer 2

x is not in the for loop i is . you're declaring something but not using it. Go back and watch the walkthrough videos i week 2 that david malan does.
