    Think about it for a minute.. How do you multiply numbers together on paper?

    What's 4 multiplied by 5...?

    well, its 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
    .. the number 4 added together 5 times

    or, 5 + 5 + 5 + 5
    the number 5 added together 4 times

    If you want to perform an operation a certain number of times, then use a loop... Read here for more information

    Think about it for 5 minutes - OK ?

    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    for example:

    Is that your answer to my question? I want to know what you think, not a copy and paste of what somebody else said.

    The point is that you make some effort to solve the problem, and we help you figure out where your thinking is wrong or can be improved. If you have a question for us, then I'm asking you to give your thoughts on that question first, so they can be responded to.

    What Salem and Daved are getting at is that no one here is going to spoon feed you this code. Please try to work this out on your own, then post the code and what problems you are having. If you do not understand the for loop, look at the tutorial again, read it carefully, and post what questions you have concerning the for loop structure. Once you understand the for loop structure, try to apply it to what Bench82 said. Post your efforts to the board and we'll help you solve specific problems with what you're doing.
