[Help] Array looping, sum

[Hikarim]

Hi, well i got a problem, I am trying to fill my array with random numbers.. and i want to make it so that the filling ends as soon as the sum of filled elements in that array exceeds and integer (lets say int i=50; )

void fillArray() {
                         


        srand((unsigned)time(0));
       
        for(int i=0; i<50; i++){
                   v[i] = (rand()%50);          
        }
       
        int sum = 0;
        for(int a=0; a<50; a++){
          sum+=v[a];
              
        }

}

i got the filling and the sum, but when i try to make it in a do-while loop, and compare it with sum i get error, as sum is not defined..etc...

Schlüsselbein, maybe he's coding in C, not in C++.

It's not hard to translate the essential functionality to C.
