C++ pattern problem

[Panchovia]

The following code should produce the following pattern it doesn't.
XXXXX
XXXXX
XXXXX
XXXXX

what code must be added to get the correct result?

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i,j;


for( i=1 ; i <=5 ;i++ ){

for( j=1 ; j <=5 ;j++)

cout<<" x" <<endl;
}
system ("pause");

return 0;

You only need to output endl once every 5th character

for( i=1 ; i <=5 ;i++ ){
   for( j=1 ; j <=5 ;j++)
      cout<<" x";
   cout <<endl;
}

Nothing wrong with the way you have coded but if you are indexing through arrays, you might consider a slightly different way of coding

for( i=0 ; i < 5 ;i++ ){
   for( j=0 ; j < 5 ;j++)
      cout<<" x";
   cout <<endl;
}

The normal pattern is to go from start while the iterator is less than one iteration past the end.
