"For" loop not working [message #1725042]

For some reason, this program is not working properly.
With the help of the for loop, this program basically asks how many movie review's the user wants to write . But since the for loop is not working, the program terminates after the "Welcome to movie review's !" line is displayed. Any help is appreciated : ) !!!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int num , n;
num = n;

cout << " Welcome to movie review's ! " <<endl;

for ( num = n; n < 0 ; n = n - 1){

string movie = "";
cout << "Please enter the name of the movie : " << endl;
getline (cin,movie);

int r ;
cout << "Please enter the tomatometer rating (out of 100 %) : " << endl;
cin >> r ;

int m ;
cout << "Please enter the metascore (out of 100 % ) : " << endl;
cin >> m ;

int sum = r + m;
float average = sum /2;
float point = average / 10;
cout << " The movie average is : " << average << " % " << endl ;
cout << " So on a 10 point scale,the movie rating is : " << point << " /10 "<< endl;

return 0;

}

This isn't a general programming help forum. It's for helping you
install and use the Eclipse IDE. I would suggest posting on
stackoverflow.com or another site.
