Jul 29th, 2005

hello all . well its pretty simple but i need to get this for loop sorted before i can move on.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream.h>
 
void square();
void circle();
void arrow();
void diamond();
 
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
 
void square()
{
  //first line
  for (int e = 1; e >= 9; e++)
  {
   cout << "*";
  }
 
}
 
 
int main()
{
  square();
  return 0;
}
#include <iostream.h>

void square();
void circle();
void arrow();
void diamond();

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

void square()
{
  //first line
  for (int e = 1; e >= 9; e++)
  {
   cout << "*";
  }

}


int main()

  return 0;
}

In the "for", you stated the following:
e=1; e>=9; e++
So, it means that e is first 1 and it will grow each cycle while e>=9 (simply isn't possible-e=1). To correct this, just make the for like this:

for (e=1;e<=9;e++) ...
