C++ loop question

[sec_ware]

Hi

Two suggestions:

1. You could either split your loop into 3 parts:
"top", a loop to create your "** **" structure, "bottom"

2. A slower method would be to replace

cout << "*";

with a few if-statements, like

		if ( (row%(maxRow-1)!=0) &&
			 ( column > 1) && (column<maxCol-2)  ) cout << " ";
			else cout << "*";

I am sure you could have worked this out by your own ?

Cheers
