Change numbers to symbols

I am relatively new to this.
I need help on how to change an output from a number into a
chararcter such as an asterisk - *.
The perosn would input a number and then my program would change that number into the amount of asterisks needed.
for example:

the number inputed is 5. then I want to output - *****

any help would be appreciated

pretty easy, try this:

cin>>value;
for(int i=0; i<value;i++)
cout<<"*";

A loop is what you need:

Code:

---

int num, x;

cout << "Enter number ";
cin >> num;

for( x = 0; x < num; x++)
    cout << '*';
