int sumTo(int value)
{
int total(0);
for (int count=1; count <= value; ++count)
    total += count;

return total;
}

Where do I add cout<<total; to print the results? I have tried to add the print function several locations without success -- either getting nothing or a large number (maybe a number previously stored in the location). Have debugger with the result showing total as 15 when value is equal to 5.

In addition, I have added a void function to print, but still no correct results.

Need help with the proper placement of the print function to yield the correct answer?

    It's not clear where the problem lies. Do you know how to call a function? Show your attempt. – François Andrieux Mar 14 '18 at 14:01

    Sounds like you could benefit from one of these [C++ books](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list). C++ can't be learned by guessing. – Ron Mar 14 '18 at 14:04

    [This seems to be a repost](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49120292). Is this version better? – Drew Dormann Mar 14 '18 at 14:09

This should work :

#include <iostream>

int sumTo(int value)
{
    int total = 0;
    for (int count=1; count <= value; ++count)
        total += count;

    return total;
}

int main(void)
{
    std::cout << sumTo(12);
}
