I see what you have to do here, provide your code sample and show us what you're having trouble on, we wont just give you the answers my friend.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int menu = 0;
cout << "1 Primer ejercicio" << endl
<< "2 Segundo ejercicio" << endl
<< "3 Tercer ejercicio" << endl
<< "4 Cuarto ejercicio" << endl
<< "5 Salir" << endl;
cin >> menu;
if (menu == 1)
{
int n;
cout << "digite la medida del lado del cuadrado";
cin >> n;
for (int fila = 1; fila <= n; fila++)
{
for (int columna = 1; columna <= n; columna++)
{
if (fila== columna == n)
{
cout << "*" << endl;
}
else
{
cout << " " << endl;
}
}
}
}
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

i have troubles whit the if

[cire]

if (fila== columna == n) is equivalent to if ((fila == columna) == n)

What did you mean to accomplish there?

[dcastro]

if (int n; fila = 1 && columna = 1)

if the first line and the first colum is equal to 1, the sistem will put an *
