nested for loops/

Code:

---

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<iomanip>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::setw;

int main()
{
    // declare & initialize variable/s
   
    int x,y,z,c;
   
    // print astericks
   
    for(x=1;x<=11;x++)
    {   
        cout<<'*';
        for(y=x-1;y<=9;y++)
        cout<<'*';cout<<endl;
    }
   
    cout<<"\n";
   
    for(x=0;x<=11;x++)
    {   
        cout<<'*';
        for(y-=x;y<=9;y++)
        cout<<'*';cout<<endl;
    }
   
    cout<<"\n";
   
    for(x=1;x<=11;x++)
    {   
        cout<<'*';
        for(y=1;y<=9;y++)
        cout<<'*';cout<<endl;cout<<setw(2);
    }
   
getch();
}

The last for loop doesn't work if I have to print the following

*********
********
*******
******
*****
****
***
**
*

should it be

( print one whole row of * and print the next row after leaving first *)?

Something like this ?

Code:

---

for(int x = 9; x > 0; x--)
{
    for(int y = 0; y < x; y++)
    {
        cout << '*';
    }
   
    cout << endl;
}

Just a small remark:
In your comments you say "declare & initialize variable/s", when no initialization is done.

Thanku Calthun.I got it.And yes I didn't initialize the variables.Got to keep that in mind in future.:cool:
