very easy

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int lines=10,repeat=2,number;
	for (int k=0;k<repeat;k++)
	{
		number=1;
		for (int i=0;i<lines;i++)
		{
			for (int j=0;j<number;j++)
			{
				cout << "*";
			}
			number++;
			cout << endl;
		}
	}
	system("pause");
}

That worked yes, but I need it to be a do while loop with a for inside, my instructions are 2 do while loops and 1 for loop?

Try to describe the problem in the header a bit better, just saying "HELP" doesn't give people much to go on. Not hating, just saying =]

[luigibana96]

translate a for in a while is a easy thing.. I couldn't understand what's the problem there...

@IceyEyez yeah.... "two times an half christmas tree" might work better :D

or "HELP with a homework problem". Note that he posted his attempt and did not ask for a complete solution. Providing them for obvious homework problems is frowned upon on this site. It may be very easy for you but it doesn't help the poster learn anything.

Not to mention he is teaching him to use system("pause"); :(. Never use system() anything. You will ask me why and I will just say "Because I said so" and point you here - http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/11153/ ;p
