    take a look at this code

    the code is supposed to display the following
    5 10 15 20
    15 20 25 30
    25 30 35 40
    35 40 45 50

    Here is my code
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    void main ()
    {
    int i,j;
    for (i=5; i<=35; i=i+10)
    {
    for (j=0;j<=4;j=j+5)
    cout <<(i+j);
    cout<<endl;
    }
    }
    it is supposed to add 5 and make 4 rows of columns. it looks good to me, but when i tried compiling, it didn't look right. Any help is appreciated.

    it would be usefull to display what you actually got as the output, though from what I can gather it was doing this.

    5
    10
    15
    20
    25
    and so on

    Your problem lies in the J loop. THe cout << endl; should be after the J loop, not a part of it.

    Also check your definition of the J loop, that apears to be wrong.

    This should now work.
    Remember, computers alway do exactly what you tell them to do.

    The main problem was that you were incrementing j by 5 but the loop was stopping at 4, therefore it only went round once. Your answer is:

    Code:
    	int i, j;
    	for( i = 5; i <= 35; i += 10 )
    	{
    		for( j = 0; j < 4; j++ )
    		{
    			cout << i + 5*j << " ";
    		}
    		cout << endl;
    	}
    Couldn't think of anything interesting, cool or funny - sorry.

    The j << endl; is not part of the loop. It only appears to be becase of indention. Only the line immediatly following the for is part of the loop unless {} are used.
