Accumulating Totals in a Loop

Summary

In this lab, you add a loop and the statements that make up the loop body to a C++ program that is provided. When completed, the program should calculate two totals: the number of left-handed people and the number of right-handed people in your class. Your loop should execute until the user enters the character X instead of L for left-handed or R for right-handed.

The inputs for this program are as follows: R, R, R, L, L, L, R, L, R, R, L, X

Variables have been declared for you, and the input and output statements have been written.

Instructions

Ensure the source code file named LeftOrRight.cpp is open in the code editor.

Write a loop and a loop body that allows you to calculate a total of left-handed and right-handed people in your class.

Execute the program by clicking "Run Code" and using the data listed above and verify that the output is correct.

// LeftOrRight.cpp - This program calculates the total number of left-handed and right-handed

// students in a class.

// Input: L for left-handed; R for right handed; X to quit.

// Output: Prints the number of left-handed students and the number of right-handed students.

#include

#include

using namespace std;

int main()

{

string leftOrRight = ""; // L or R for one student.

int rightTotal = 0; // Number of right-handed students.

int leftTotal = 0; // Number of left-handed students.

// This is the work done in the housekeeping() function

cout << "Enter an L if you are left-handed, a R if you are right-handed or X to quit: ";

cin >> leftOrRight;

// This is the work done in the detailLoop() function

// Write your loop here.

// This is the work done in the endOfJob() function

// Output number of left or right-handed students.

cout << "Number of left-handed students: " << leftTotal << endl;

cout << "Number of right-handed students: " << rightTotal << endl;

return 0;
