Finding a total using for loops

[deadfolx]

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a way to code in a command that calculates a total number from the given bar chart I made. I'm using for loops. Thanks so much in advance guys!

int main()
{
	cout << "Microbes Monthly Growth Char 100/cm" << endl;
	cout << "***************************************" << endl;

	int spec[5]; //array of from microbes from 5 specimen
	int mic = 0;

	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
	{
		cout << "Specimen #" << i + 1 << endl;
		cin >> mic;
		spec[i] = mic / 100;

	}
	system("CLS");
	for (int c = 0; c < 5; c++)
	{
		cout << "Specimen #" << c + 1;
		for (int f = 0; f < spec[c]; f++)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}
		cout << endl;
	}

	


	return 0;
}

Do you want the total of all the microbes displayed in the bar chart?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int arrsize = 5;

int main()
{
	cout << "Microbes Monthly Growth Char 100/cm" << endl;
	cout << "***************************************" << endl;

	int spec[arrsize]; //array of from microbes from 5 specimen
	int mic = 0;

	for (int i = 0; i < arrsize; i++)
	{
		cout << "Specimen #" << i + 1 << endl;
		cin >> mic;
		spec[i] = mic / 100;
	}

	//system("CLS");
	int total = 0;

	for (int c = 0; c < arrsize; c++)
	{
		cout << "Specimen #" << c + 1;
		for (int f = 0; f < spec[c]; f++)
			cout << "*";

		cout << endl;
		total += spec[c];
	}

	cout << endl << "Total " << total << endl;

	return 0;
}

Hello, I have that down, user types in numbers then it goes to a screen clear and displays microbes through barchart. Was wondering if I could take all values and add them up as a total at the bottom. As in Total Microbes: #

right, read that wrong, yes to your question, sorry.

Apparently, you accumulate scaled down number (for display purposes?); see:

spec[i] = mic / 100;

I would calculate the total in the first loop, right after reading mic.
