i need help making a program that makes the times tables appear after you enter a number. for e.g if you enter 2 it comes up with
1*2=2
2*2=4
etc
all way down to
12*2=24

i need this to happen from when you type in any number from 1 - 12 and it needs to give the times table like above for any numbers. any help will be appriciated jay

Sounds Like Homework

Hello Jay,
Welcome to GIDForums.

To print the tables, you need a loop.

Consider that the number is x.
Then, the first line should print:
1 * x = answer
2 * x = answer
and so on.
For example, consider that the number is 2 as you said.
Then, :
1 * 2 = 2;
2 * 2 = 4;

What can we do about this?
We can have a variable i, that varies from 1 to 12.
If x is the input, then the psuedo code looks like:

But how to code this in program?
Use the for loop, which you can use for this program.
First get the input from the user.(I hope you know how to do this )
Then, in a loop, like this:
What does this loop do? It varies i from 1 to 12.
At the first iteration, i is 1.
After the end of the iteration, the value of i is incremented by 1.
This is indicated by the "i++" statement.
And the loop goes on.. When the value of i becomes greater than 12, the loop exits.

So, you have to print the Values inside the loop.
In C, you can use the printf statement.
For example, like this:
%d indicates an integer, and '\n' indicates a line break.
So, the first %d corresponds to i, second %d corresponds to x, and the third %d corresponds to i*x.

Now, Are you ready for another challenge?
Print All the tables from 1 to 10.
(Hint: Use Another loop.)

Regards,
Paramesh.

Ok cheers anyway i do get what you all said, and yes it was home work but we have only got the basics of C++ and he expects us to do that. and for a newbie u gotta admit its kinda hard!

Welcome to GID


For a newbie who is afraid of the library
But I see Paramesh did an excelent job (as always - Keep them coming, Paramesh) in giving you more then just code.

Kobi.
