I am having a bit of an issue with this problem. I am taking a Pascal programming class and this problem was in my logic book. I am required to have the user enter a series of (+) numbers and once he/she enters a (-) number, the program should find the sum of all the (+) numbers. I accomplished this, but now I am attempting part two of this problem, which requires me to utilize a nested loop to run the program x amount of times based on the user's input.

The following code is what I have so far and honestly I am stumped:

program summation;

//Define main program's variables
var num, sum, numRun : integer;

//Design procedure that will promt user for number of runs
procedure numRunLoop ( var numRun : integer );

  begin
    writeln('How many times shall I run this program?');
    readln(numRun);
  end;

//Design procedure that will sum a series of numbers
//based on user input
procedure numPromptLoop( numRun : integer; var num : integer );

var count : integer;

  begin

    //Utilize for to establish run limit
    for count := 1 to numRun do
      begin

        //Use repeat to prompt user for numbers
        repeat

          writeln('Enter a number: ');
          readln(num);

          //Tells program when to sum
          if num >= 0 then
             sum := sum + num;

        until num < 0;

    end;

  end;

//Design procedure that will display
procedure addItion( sum : integer );
  begin
    writeln('The sum is; ', sum);
  end;

begin

numRunLoop(numRun);
numPromptloop(numRun, num);
addItion(sum);
readln();

end.
