This is the program that I have written, my problem is that the contents in the for loop does not execute. When I compile I get enter number of students to be registered
And total cost of discount is R 0

I compiled your code and ran it; I got this output:

Enter the number of students to be registered: 3
Enter the student number: #21
Enter the number of modules, student #21 would like to register for: 1
Enter the number of modules(from min:2 to max:5), student #21 would like to register for: 2

and it went on from there.

If I enter the first number as zero, I get what you describe:

Enter the number of students to be registered: 0
Total cost of Discounts = R 0

which would suggest you're entering the value zero.

Nope, I entered 2 when I'm asked to enter the number of students and it goes to total cost of discounts = R 0 :(

When I enter 2, it does not. It does this.

Enter the number of students to be registered: 2
Enter the student number: #

Next guess; whatever you're running, it's not the code above. How sure are you that you've definitely compiled that code, and are running the output executable?

Ok perfect! It works, there was a typo error, fixed now, thanks a million for your time and help :)
