Outputing a square.

so my only question is how to make my output screen like this:

****
****
****
****

instead of this:
*
*
*
*

Heres the code: I jus basically need the answer, i can figure it out from the code you use. THX

Also this is a function im calling, not the entire program.

void display()
{
char ch;
int i, j, side;
cout<<"Enter character and side"<<endl;
cin>>ch>>side;
cout<<endl;

for(int i=0; i<side/2; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<side/2; j++)
{
cout<<ch<<endl;
}
}
}

What do you think this "<<endl;" does?

void display()
{
char ch;
int i, j, side;
cout<<"Enter character and side"<<endl;
cin>>ch>>side;
cout<<endl;

for(int i=0; i<side/2; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<side/2; j++)
{
cout<<ch;
}
cout<<endl;
}
}

I don't know why you are doing side/2. I think it should just simply be side.

You could try this helper class that I wrote: http://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2008/11...ole-functions/.
