New to programming and need some advice

I have to write a function that prints a character a number of times on one line and also several lines after. I used #define to put in 10 times and 10 lines. The following code is posted. Thanks for any help.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define TIMES 10
#define LINES 10

void showChar (void);

int main(void)
{
    
    
    showChar();
    
    
        
    system("pause");
    return 0;
    
}

void showChar (void)

{
    int count = 0;
    int lineCount = 1;
            
    while (lineCount <= LINES){
               putchar('\n');
               
        do 
            putchar('$');
         while (count <= TIMES);
                 count++;
                 lineCount++;
     }
                
}

Your outer-loop involving lineCount seems right. Consider only this outer-loop:

    // ... do something     
                 lineCount++;
     }

Within the // do something part, you should write something similar for your loop involving the count variable. I would suggest putting that part in its own braces to help make it clearer

Code:

    int lineCount = 1;
            
    while (lineCount <= LINES){
               putchar('\n');
                {
                    int count = ...
                    while (count ... {
                          ...
                          count++;
                    }
                }
                lineCount++;
     }

Worked perfectly. Thanks so much. I've been beating my head over this!!
