Thread: Square

Please help, i need a program that reads the side of a square and prints a square of that size out of astericks, i appreciate a hint to get started, thanks, Ben

Hi,
1)read the value the user inputs and store it in a variable say x.
int x= ans;
2) introduce a "for loop" for that no. of times , counter<=x
3)introduce a another "for loop" inside the above loop .
4)and type cout<<"*";
5)close the inner loop
6)type cout<<endl;//for printing 1 line of stars and coming to new line
7)close the outer loop
8)return 0;

I hope it helps!!

BEST LUCK.

You just did the program for him. The point is that you're supposed to help him understand the concepts...not GIVE him the program =P
