Desired output after a while loop is not being displayed

The sum of numbers isn't being displayed. Meanwhile, it's also not showing any compilation error.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int sum = 0, val = 1;
    while (val <= 10);{
        sum += val;
        ++val;
    }

    std::cout << sum << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

It's simply not running, I'm expecting '55' to be displayed in the terminal, as the program is to add numbers from '1' to '10' both inclusive.

Solution

  • You added a semicolon (;) after while. Remove it and it works fine.
