Agh... My C++ class has asked me to provide an example of a "cool" script (we are 2 days in), so i had the idea for a simple dotted line generator. The script works fine in PHP
PHP Code:
<?php
# Config
$max = 250;
?>
<html>
<!--

<head>
<title>Dotted Slope Generator</title>
<style type="text/css">
h3 {text-align:center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Dotted Slope Generator</h3>
<?php
# Load sacred Vars
$row = 1;
$col = 1;
# Start
while ($row<$max+2) {
# If the loop is just starting, don't print anything.
if ($row != 1) {print $row-1 . ") ";}
# Start the major loop
while ($col<$row) {
# Print each dot
print ".";
$col++;
}
# Reset for next line
$col = 1;
$row++;
print "<br />\n";
}
# End
?>
</body>
</html>
But when i try to convert it to C++ it makes an infinite loop. 
PHP Code:
/*
# Dotted Slope Generator
# Made By Adam Shannon
# http://ashannon.us
# adam@ashannon.us

*/
// Load Header Files/Commands
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Begin
int main() {
// Load Vars
int max = '10';
int row = '1';
int col = '1';
char end;
char start;
// Title Message
cout << "\t\t\t\tDotted Slope Generator\n";
cout << "Enter a character to start.";
cin >> start;
// Begin Loop
while (row < max) {
// Start the major loop
while (col < row) {
// Print each dot
cout << ".";
col++;
}
// Reset for next line
col = '1';
row++;
cout << "\n";
}
// Pause till exit command.
cout << "Enter a character to exit.";
cin >> end;
return 0;
}
// End
</span> |
