another simple program help

[jennydarma]

i am trying to write a simple program in which you enter a number e.g.4 and the printout would be ****. or if u entered 10, then the output would be ten of * i.e. **********.
i only started programming last week so not got too fa so far. any help appreciated! cheers!!


heres what ive done so far

#include <stdio.h>
main()

{
int x;
char = *

printf("enter your number\n");
scanf("%d", &x);

You need to research loops. Lookup both the for and while loops. There are plenty of examples on here if you don't have your book handy.

>>char = *
This would be:
>>char Output = '*';
where Output is the variable's name.

The program will look like this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int x;               /* space for the user's number */
   char c = '*';    /* the character to display */ 
   int i;                /* counter for the "for" loop */
   
   printf("Enter your number: ");
   scanf("%d", &x);
    
   for (i = 0; i < x; i++)       /* counts how many times to print the character */
      printf("%c", c);              /* print the character */
   return 0;
} 

Of course if the user must enter a number, if he enters something else there will be an error: our x variable is made to hold integer numbers only.

Studying loops is a good idea, copy-pasting this code will get you nowhere...
Hope I helped.
