I am trying to create a rectangle with 3*5 dimension which would look like:

I wanted to use for, and do while loop for that programming. I couldn't been able to create my desired dimension of 3*5.
Could anyone please help me out on this please. Thank you all.

It would help if you putted your code between code statements, using "code" and "/code" between brackets ([...])

In your first input module after you did cout<<character you should continue with << " " instead of a newline; the newline cout << endl; should be just after your second for loop, while still in the first for loop, at then end of it actually. In your second do{} statement, just outputting character to cout will give you only a single line, I'm not sure that's what you want but if you follow my first guideline you'll have your rectangle.

Thank you AeonFlux1212
I am new with this for, do while loops so I am confused on what you mean?
Is there a way you could elaborate or anything to help out?
I am just stuck here with no clue of what to do next.
Please help me only if you could...no pressure and I am very thankful for your support. I really appreciate that.

This should be just after cin>>character;

for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
     for(int j = 0; j < width; j++)
     {
          cout << character;
     }

     cout << endl;
}

so your character will print j times (width) for each row (length). This is where your rectangle will be printed out. The rest of your code is not necessary, unless you really want to print out a menu that ables you to print another rectangle, with another character for example. So this part,

j=0;
i=0;

do
{
cout << character;
}while((j++<width)&&(i++<length));

is unnecessary. Instead of that should be this part:

cout<<"Please enter the length and width of the rectangle seperated by a space:\n";
cin>>length>>width;
cout<<"Please enter your design character: \t";
cin>>character;
for(int i=0; i<length; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<width; j++)
cout<<character;
cout<<endl;	
}//end i loop 

included in your do-while menu, with the modifications I showed you. I suggest you check out the section on control structures in the tutorial on this site http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/ , and the whole tutorial if you're motivated! http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

It's very well made and easy to understand. If need more advice just ask I'll show you what the whole code should look like.
