Row of Ascii Characters

[RNBW]

I am trying to display a row of Ascii characters (ref 219). But all it displays is one character. What am I doing wrong?

// Display row of Ascii Characters 219

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
	HANDLE hConsoleOutput;
	COORD dwCursorPosition;
	
	dwCursorPosition.X = x;
	dwCursorPosition.Y = y;
	hConsoleOutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
	SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsoleOutput,dwCursorPosition);
}


int main(void)
{
	  int x;
	  gotoxy(0,23);
	  for (int i=1;i<81;i++)
	  	x = 219;
	  cout << (char)x ;	
}

Only line 25 is inside the for-loop.
Either use braces { } to enclose both lines 25 and 26 inside the loop body.

Or perhaps like this

    gotoxy(0,23);
    for (int i=1;i<81;i++)
        cout << (char)219 ;

Hi
Thank you for the prompt response. I forgot about the braces. But I prefer your last bit of code. It's a bit more concise and does the job perfectly.
