All your program will do is print out an '*' for everytime your divide by 5 and the value is still greater than 1. So, it will print out 20 * on one line. What are you attempting to do?

BEcause after you divide val by 5 third time result will be less than 1 and loop condition would not be met anyore so program will end.
