Question

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

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

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

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

**CODE GIVEN**

// 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 <iostream>
#include <string>
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;
}
