help please, Nested loops.

how do i use the (counter)command to do a nested loop.
eg. for counter=1 to 10
Print"*";
Next counter
How do i use an other counter to loop the program so that it prints a 10 by 10 square of *.
Thank you for your help

counter isn't a command, it's a variable you use. In this case you use it to count the loops, you can use whatever variable for this purpose have as many nested loops as you want.

Code:

---

  For y=1 to 10
    for x=1 to 10
        print "*";
    next x
    print 'a linefeed
  next y

you can't use they same variable in a nested loop because you will get the already in use error but this will do what you wanted.....

Code:

---

Dim counter, counter2, num As Integer

counter = 1
counter2 = 1
num = 0

For counter = 1 To 10
  num = num + 1
  Form1.Print num
  counter2 = 1
  For counter2 = 1 To 10
      num = num + 1
      Form1.Print num
  Next counter2
Next counter
