Help with c++ noob stuff please

#include <iostream>

using namespace std; // So the program can see cout and endl

int main()
{
  // The loop goes while x < 10, and x increases by one every loop
  for ( int x = 0; x < 10; x++ ) {
    // Keep in mind that the loop condition checks 
    //  the conditional statement before it loops again.
    //  consequently, when x equals 10 the loop breaks.
    // x is updated before the condition is checked.    
    cout<< x <<endl;
  }
  cin.get();
}

It adds one everytime until it ges to 10, how can I make it add more like 2 at a time or 3 at a time?

Instead of x++, put in

x+=2, x+=3, etc..

those are shortcuts for "x = x + 2" and "x = x + 3"

[xErath]

that code includes a for cycle
it has the syntax

for(initial statement;condition for looping;expressions evaluated at end of any cycle)
{
    code to be executed
}

In the 'expressions evaluated at end of any cycle' you have x++.
x is a integer. ++ is a operator that increments the value of the variable.
writing x++ increments x.
it's the same as x = x+1; or x +=1;
knowing this, try to change that expression to add 2 or 3 to x;
