Help with Loops

[Gadd]

Hey guys, I wanted to do a bit more practice on my looping and wanted to write this program asks the user how many multiples of 2 the user wants to see, then display it on the screen. I do know how the loops and for loops work Im just wondering how I would work with getting 2,4,6,8 on the screen if the user says 4. Thanks for the help if possible!

This tutorial ought to help you.
You should use a for loop.
How about this: try it, post it, and if it still doesn't work, somebody can help you.[/url]

code:

var num_multiples : int var multiple : int multiple := 2 put "How many multiples of ", multiple, " would you like to see?" get num_multiples for i: multiple .. num_multiples by multiple     put ""     put"":20, i     exit when num_multiples = 0 end for put "" put "The program has displayed, ", num_multiples, " multiples of ", multiple

Thanks for the help, I also added being able to change the multiple to whatever you want. Thanks.

Well, from that code, if num_multiples was 10,
it would print all the multiples from 2 to 10 => 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
But I thought the program was to print 10 multiples of 2 => 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

So I'd change the for loop to

code:

for i: 1..num_multiples     put ""     put "":20, i * multiple end for

Also, in your for loop, exit when num_multiples = 0, doesn't have much meaning.
