I need help with matrix color

Dec 5th, 2008

Problem: Write a program that displays a single character in all possible combinations of foreground and background colors (16x16 = 256). The colors are numbered from 0 to 15, so you can use a nested loop to generate all possible combinations.

Here is what I tried, but it doesnot come out right. Could anyone help me, please?. I am a newbie at this language.
