this is what i have so far:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int space;
char c;

cout<<"This program will output a parallelogram"<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"How long do you want each side to be?"<<endl;
cin>>space;
cout<<"Please enter the character you want it to be made of: "<<endl;
cin>>c;

int row=1;
for(int x=0;x<space;x++)
{
for(int j=0;j<row;j++)
{
cout<<c;
}
cout<<endl;
row++;
}

}


I have to do the rest using a while or dowhile loop which is what is throwing me off. Everything i have tried so far ends up turning into an infinite loop and causes my computer to freeze.

what exactly is the problem? the code seems to be working fine...
