Create a for loop that will begin with a value of 5 and end with a value of 25. In each iteration, add the incrementing value to mathTotal. When the loop has finished running, set 'isComplete' to true. (HINT: the last value used INSIDE the loop should be 25)
int mathTotal;
bool isComplete;
for (int = 5; int < 26; int++) {
isComplete = true;
}

is the type of your mathTotal
variable and not the variable itself, so you can't assign values to the type. Moreover int
is a reserved keyword, so you can't use it as a variable name either. Having said that, the syntax of your for loop is not correct. It rather works like this, specifically in this case:
for (int indexVariableName = intitalValue; indexVariableName < maxValue; indexVariableName++) {
// indexVariableName is available in this scope
}
Moreover, the assignment asks you to "In each iteration, add the incrementing value to mathTotal", which is not included in your code. This is how you could do that:
int mathTotal;
bool isComplete;
for (int i = 5; i < 26; i++) {
mathTotal += i; // In each iteration, add the incrementing value to mathTotal.
isComplete = true;
}
Hope that helps :)
