hmm...gamehead i can definitely help u with C++, but im not sure i get wt ure requirements are....im guessing ur making a simple loop program that will terminate, when the condition i<spaces has been exceeded. well for this u need 2 things: first of all u need to define spaces, and give it some value, somewhere in ur program, either via user input, or by assigning it some constant value at the start of the program. second, i dont see the point of the loop, unless the loop is giving some output relating to the number of times it has been run. maybe u shud try putting a " cout << i; " inside the loop. however if u post ur requirements for the program clearly, ill write the entire code for u. no fret. cya dm
