Programming with C

Question

Write a program to produce a square of n x m input. For example, when user input n=3, m=4, the output will be display as below:
####
####
####

Answer 1

There are likely numerous ways of doing this. I would create a string variable and then use concatenation in a for loop to create a string of m characters. Once the string variable is the right length, print it n number of times. 

 

Here is a description of the code:

 

Remember to include the libraries needed, "string" and "iostream" at least.

 

main function

 

initiate variables:

int type for n and m, also some other int type variable for the for loops

string type variable to hold the "#"

 

Prompt the user for the n value

User input n value

Prompt the user for the m value

User inputs m value

 

Construct for loop to loop through n times

concatenate string variable. I would suggest the simple code: string variable = '#' + string variable

 

construct for loop to output string variable m times

Output string variable

 

That should work. The main function does not need to return a value (return 0).

 

I hope this helps Izzy.
