What's the error you are getting?(if any).
The logic works,I have tried the same code with C++ (Visual Studio) and it works...however there are few changes I've made...check the code below :

int main()
{
     char *shape; //use char pointer or string
     int i=1;
	 int k,x,y;
     
     shape  = new char[10];
	 cout<<"Shape : ";
	 cin>>shape;
	 cout<<"Column :";
	 cin>>x;
	 cout<<"Line :";
	 cin>>y;
     
     while(i<=y)
     {
          k=1;
          while(k<=x)
          {
			  cout<<"Shape : "<<shape<<endl;
              k++;
          }
          i++;
          printf("\n");
     }
     delete[] shape;
     return 0; //Return 0 and not main
}

even this u write didn't work i guess the program that i use is bad devc++ what program u use??

[NewDev]

What does it mean when you say it doesn't work?Any compile errors??Plz ellaborate,because the above code is a basic C++ one .You just need to include the header iostream.h for the code to compile, as in C you include stdio.h.
I am using Visual Studio 2005.
