I am unsure where I am going wrong in my code. I am trying to create a program that allows the user to enter a number, the program ends when the user enters 0. The program also needs to show the sum of the numbers entered. When I compile and run the code, it shows the endless "Please ebter a number (0 to terminate):".

number sum
Initialize sum to 0
output "Please enter a number (0 to terminate):"
input value
while value != 0
sum = sum + value
output "please enter a number (0 to terminate):"
endwhile
//
output "The value of sum is" sum

Expert Solution

The problem:

Hey! Hope you are doing good!

The basic Problem of the code that you have provided is that you have somehow told the computer to repeat "Please Enter a Number (0 to terminate)" until the value does not change to 0, since it is written inside the loop.

The very first time when we input a number other than 0 then the value of the variable "value" changes and it is not zero, so the computer gets stuck in an infinite loop until the program is terminated forcefully.
