Prining a * from a user input integer Loop Help

[ashley19]

How can I make it continually loop? It only asks for it one time? Is it possible to stop it after 5 times? Do I need a control condition/while loop?
or
is it possible to have the user input 5 integers in the beginning and have the output show at the end?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int input = 0;

    cout << "Enter an integer: ";
    cin >> input;
    
    for(int num=0; num < input; num++)
{
       cout<<"*";
}
	   
}

Am I understanding correctly that you wish to execute the cout/cin pair as well as the following for loop multiple times?

Simple wrap another for loop around whatever you want to repeat.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> inputs;

    for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
   {
        cout << "Enter an integer: ";
        cin >> inputs[i];
   }
        
    for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
    {
          cout<< inputs[i];
    }
	   
}

Like that?

That isn't entirely correct.

I added a while loop, with counter. But I'm not sure why it's an infinite loop. can someone modify this so I can learn what I'm doing wrong? I only want this loop to run 5 times.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int input = 0;
    int counter = 0;

    cout << "Enter an integer (between 1-30): ";
    cin >> input;

	while(counter != 5)	
	{    

    for(int num=0; num < input; num++)
{
       cout<<"*";
}	
	}   
}

Well, you never modify counter within the loop (or anywhere else). Of course it's going to be infinite.

Care to elaborate or just going to leave it at that?
