Print US Presidential Election Years Since 1792

[ineedhelpnow]

Modify the program to print the U.S. presidential election years since 1792 to present day, knowing such elections occur every 4 years. Don't forget to use <= rather than == to help avoid an infinite loop.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   int electYear = 0; 
   
   electYear = 1792;
   // FIXME: Put the following in a while loop 
   cout << electYear << endl;

   return 0; 
}

how do i do this?

Do.. do you have any thoughts on the matter at all? I'm asking because most if not all of your C++ questions lately have been of the form "here is some code, how do I implement this". You need to at least give it a try.

i know. i have been trying to understand. but these last lessons we've been going over make no sense to me. I am trying to understand but its all fuzzy. most of the ones I've been posting lately also arent homework problems. they are just activities.

She is clearly giving it a try, don't be so hard on her, I'm sure you also encountered issues when learning C++ and had people there to help out.

ineedhelpnow, imagine that it's now 1815 instead of 2015. Could you do manually what you need the program to do, i.e., write election years until 1815? While doing it, think carefully about what steps you are performing. Are you adding numbers? Are you comparing them? How do you know it's time to stop? Can you do this if you have only limited space to write numbers on paper, but you can erase old numbers and write new ones in the same space?

After you do this, try to describe the sequence of steps you had to perform and post this description.
