Hey everyone,

I've used this site as a resource for such a long time, but never GOT into the forum... until now. I thought a good way to get my feet wet would be to post a fun C++ problem I have enjoyed before. Hopefully it is a new problem to some of you!

Give it your best! (and don't post answers when you get them... let everyone have a fair chance)


Code: [Select]#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
int i, n = 20;
for (i=0; i<n; i--) {
cout << "x" << endl;
}
}

/*
Directions:
===========
Find three ways to make the above code print x 20 times
(by changing only one character)
*/

Best of luck! Hopefully you do better than I did!A tip to all: The current code is an infinite LOOP. I'm on it, because I can't resist.

EDIT: Question: Does the "--" COUNT as one character? It's certainly only one operator... Quote from: Dilbert on July 10, 2007, 04:49:11 PM
