Displaying more rows

[ichabodgrant]

Hi. I am a new programming student.
Recently I have been facing problems using for loop.
My assignment is that if I input 3 then a square of 3 x 3 will be displayed in this way:

&&&
&&&
&&&

Square of n x n will be shown if user inputs n.

Now I am able to display &&&, but I don't know how to display more rows.
I know it is something about looping one more time.
But I have no idea about how to write the second for loop.
I mean I don't get it.
The second for loop should result in the same display as the first row.
But the things inside the second for loop should be something else.
Should I declare another variable?
Can anybody give me some hints?

my code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int size_square = 0;
    char symbol = '&';
    cout << "Enter the size of the square please.  ";
    cin >> size_square;


    for (int count = 0;count < size_square;count++)
    {
        for (//something should be written here)
        {
            //something should also be written here
            cout << endl;
            cout << symbol;
        }

    }
}

The inner loop should generate the row of ampersands. The outer loop should change to the next line by outputting a newline. Since it's meant to be a square, both loops will need to loop for size_square times (the inner loop will be executed repeatedly by the outer loop, of course).

You have the right idea with the nested loops. You just need to output the symbol from the inner loop.

  //  Loop for each needed row
  for (int row=0; row<size_square; row++)
  {  //  Loop for each needed column within the row
      for (int col=0; col<size_square; col++)
      {  cout << synbol;
       }
       // All columns displayed, terminate the row
       cout << endl;
  }

Actually when I felt desperate last night, I went to bed.
And then I thought about using row and column to present it, which will be easier for me to read.
It turns out I am kinda right about it.

Thank you very much.
