Find first and second element ==0 and sum between

Hello!
I need to write function which finds first and second element equal 0, and then sum elements between these two zeros.
For example:
If I have array like this
{1,0,5,7,9,0,7,0,8,9}
then function need to output 21,
because first 0 is in second place, second 0 is in sixth place and sum between is 5+7+9=21.
If there have not elements equal 0 or there have not elements between two zeros function should output 0.
I have code like this right now, but it doesn't work at all.

What I have tried:

My code:

C++

double minim (double m[], int A)
{	
    double min=m[0];
    int indeks;
    int i;
    for ( i=0; i<a; i++)
    { 
        if (m[i]=0)
        {
            min=m[i]; 
            indeks=i; 
            printf("first 0=%d ",indeks) 
            return indeks; 
        } 
        
        double max=min; 
        int indeks1; 
        for (i=min+1; i<a; i++) 
        { 
             indeks1=i; (second=" ", ); 
             sum=0; 
             i<indeks1-1; 
             printf("\nelement %d", sum);
        }
    }
}

Try to paste,again your code, a CP bug trashed your code.

Which bug?

All the ="" are coming from the sanitizer sometimes when validating the question.

Gotcha. Weird - that will only happen inside markup, and not inside PRE blocks. Time to switch to markdown completely?

Nice correction !
The problem is that newbies tend to not use the PRE block.
Personally, I don't like markdown, preference is to have the possibility to disactivate it with a switch.

Well, no. It won't.
It won't even compile, much less run or do anything useful.

Throw that lot away, and start again from scratch.
Do it in "easy stages".
Write a function to find the first 0 value, and return it's index.
When that works, change it to find the first and second zero value.
When that works, add the code to sum the values between them.

But ... this is your homework, so I'll give you no code: it simple enough that if you do it in easy stages and think before you start code each time, you will do it in very little time at all.
