Hello all,
I have what I am sure most of you will find an extremely easy program to
write.  It is to simply multiply two numbers together without using '*'  So,
two numbers, X times Y - X+X+X .. Y times.  I imagine a for loop is needed
but I can not figure out how to write it and - also have searched for a few
hours for clues on how to.  Below is what I have so far, don't laugh, I have
to start somewhere!!  But nonetheless, I have to get rid of the expression
c=a*b and get a loop in there ... Can anyone help me?


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
 double a;
 double c;
 double b;
 cout << "This program will multiply two integers:" <<endl;
 cout << "Please enter first number:" <<endl;
 cin >> a;
  cout << "Please enter second number:"<<endl;
 cin >> b;

  c=a*b;


cout <<"The answer is " << c <<endl;



}
