cin>>n;
int sum=0;
while(n>0)
{
sum+=n;
--n;
}

cout<<"\n\nThe sum is"<<sum;

}
int main()
{
char ch;
do
{
cout<<"\n \n DO you want to call the function";
cin>>ch;

if(ch=='y')

sum();

while(ch!='n');

@bhaskar.pathk that char ch eval needs some work to catch nNyY. The probkem states all four are needed.

@Christos Did you try printing out n inside the loop to see what is happening to it? Or is it the other loop? I did not compile it to see which os going forever.
