help please, Nested loops.

[mark leyland]

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.

  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.....

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
