#include<iostream.h>

While it does not really matter if your compiler supports this, its usually a better idea to use the most recent header files

#include <iostream>

...

cout.fill('.');
for(i=i;i<10;++i)
{
    cout.width(i);
    cout.fill('.');
    cout<<i;
}

INT X: You declare a variable and do not initialize it.

FOR X = X: You copy the value of X into X,

FOR (X to 10): Well based on the value we gave X (none) this could be anywhere in the range of integer values ( -2147483648 to 2147483647, on a 32-bit system ) number of iterations.

int x = 0;
for(i = x; i<10; ++i)
   cout << "." << i;

~ or ~

for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
    cout << "." << i;

Would accomplish what you're looking for in your loop.

There is no return 0; The system needs this value to know everything went 'ok' with the system.. any other value that is returned is usually viewed as an error.

return 0;
