How to loop a set number of times?

[derejrcar]

How can I loop a statement a number of times?

aka

int loopnumber

Loop statment int number of times {

my looped info goes here

}

How would I do this?

Use a for loop.

I cant under stand how to use it. Can you explain how I'd do it?

Did you look at the example?

for(int i = START_VALUE; i < END_VALUE; ++i) {
    // looped info
}

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

//An example taken from the page on the for loop #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { for (int n=10; n>0; n--) { cout << n << ", "; } cout << "FIRE!\n"; return 0; }

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIRE!

Ok, but what I'm trying to do is loop it a variable number of times:

int loopthismany

loop(loopthismany) {

//looped info

}

Nobody ever said that END_VALUE in Zhuge's example had to be a constant. It could just as easily be a variable or a return value from a function. :)
