C program help ASAP

[sectshun8]

I'm on my last question of my final:

MUST USE NESTED FOR LOOPS

I need to write a program that accepts 5 integers between 1 & 30 and then print out that number of asterisks.

Sample Output

Enter five numbers between 1 & 30: 1 2 3 4 5

What part of this do you need help on.....

[ShuckyD]

is this a console based app? if so is it C++ or just C?

ok this is off the top of my head

int x[5];
cin >> x[0];
cin >> x[1];
cin >> x[2];
cin >> x[3];
cin >> x[4];
for(int i=0; i<0; i++) //1 loop
{
for(int j=; j<x[i]; j++)//2nd nested loop
{
cout << "* ";
}
cout << endl;
}

substitute count for printf if u can't use the std - i can't remember the sub for cin - sorry

If this is a question on his final and he has no clue how to do this, you are certinaly not helping him by giving him the code.... Well unless he wants to become a VB programmer that is *hides*

In all seriousness though, don't post solutions to peoples homework/tests. Pseudocode, no problem, but at least make them figure out syntax for themselves, especially when it is as basic as this. Last check this wasn't CheatIMO. (Though it is almost an anagram)

at his level what good would psuedo code do??? it would probably confuse him more than anything -> if he can't understand that code then there is no hope for him... it is simple create an array, fill the array, use a loop to navigate the array, use the nested loop to output the array data.... atleast i didn't use tab indexing so he atleast has to discover whats going on there.... in this case i was right to give him the code.

plus by glancing at the code there is major error - so if he used the code would have to go through it line by line to discover this error

If he can't understand how to even start this question on his final then he needs to be taught something. Giving him code will help him zero. And yes that entire problem IS simple, which is why it is even more alarming he simply asked "how do you do it" which is even more reason to try to teach him the logic behind it and leave the syntax to him.

it is pointless anyway john - he submitted that on 22nd, i answered on the 24th so he would have been finished.

I know it's old, but fun nonetheless Sorry, a little rusty on C++, might not be *perfect*! Didn't put in check for numbers 1 to 30 either

int i=0, input=0;

while(1) // infinite loop ;)

++i;       // first number
if(i==5) // loop exit
  break;
else {
  cin >> input;
  for(int x=0;x<input;++x)
    cout << '*' << '\n';
}
end-while
