Thread: drawing a box

Ok, this is the problem. I'm trying to draw a box. It's part of our assignment to draw a box so we can put stuff in it. It's just a plain on old box.

so far I have:
void main()
{
int box;
cout << "\xF9";
for (box = 2; box < 75; ++box) //for first corner on top

cout << "\xF9";
for (box = 2; box < 20; ++ box); // for line across the top

cout << "\xF9"; // for second corner on top
gotoxy(75,1);

cout << "\xF9"; // this is where the problem is
for (box = 74; box > 20; -- box);


I can't get the line to go down the side. I'm about to pull my hair out.

Please save me from being balder than i am.

Thank you kindly,
k

Thank you most kindly. I will give it a go!

Yes that was kind of a help, even though it's not exactly what i'm looking for, I'm still working on the first one (crosses fingers).

Again thanks, I do appreciate it.
