Need help with while loop

[Gohmer]

I'm trying to write a while loop that displays 15 asterisks one at a time. When I run the program it doesn't terminate after 15 repetitions. Can somebody help me?

  		#include <iostream>
	using namespace std;
	int main()
{

	int num=1;

	{
	while(num<=15)
	cout<<"*";
	num++;
	}

	system("pause");
}

***************************************
* the brackets in your code were positioned wrong *

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num=1;

while(num <= 15) // while loop

{ // The code need to be enclosed between
cout<<"*";
num++;
} // the brackets in order to terminate the loop after 15 repetitions.

cout<<'\n';
return 0;
}

I dont know why you need a while loop if its just for reasearch/leurning then its fine. but you might want to have a look at a for loop.
