What is the question? I only see one question mark following the sentence
'Can Any One Help Me To Solve This Question'. One remarkable thing I noticed
is that you capitalize every single word in that sentence. But besides that, if
the subject of the question is the question itself, nobody can answer that question.
If that wasn't your (self referential) question, I have no idea what your question is
supposed to be by lack of other sentences followed by a question mark.
Care to try again and clarify your intentions a bit? <--- that's a question.
I just take issue with someone asking a question and getting ridiculed for how the question was asked. Unless the responders were complete morons, we all knew what the real question was. So why not give a nudge to help the programmer instead of making fun of the grammar and sentence structure?
According to the guidelines we are supposed to be nice to newbies and personal insults or attacks are generally unacceptable. This looked to me to be a borderline attack rather than a genuine attempt to be helpful.
This site has helped me and I want it to succeed. Flames are counterproducti ve to success.
This is all way off topic, so I'm going to shut my mouth now. (So to speak.)

And what about when the OP asks for code that is used as an example in the Posting Guidelines? (And although I did not poke fun at the grammar, it also is in the Posting Guidelines to use clear English and ask specific questions.)
Edit:: another point of this is that the OP obviously did not read the Posting Guidelines, as they would have otherwise seen that there was code in there that they could use.

Reason: Clarification
Please take a moment to settle yourselves. No need to get into an argument about it.
We all have our reasons for saying what we said. I think both Jos and Sicarie were just as justified in their comments as Matthew. Please keep it respectful, and please keep the posts on topic. If you want to have a fight about responses to questions and the apparent disrespect that comes with ignoring the posting guide lines then lets take it to the Cafe or somewhere else.

Reason: Fixed spelling errors
As for anyone else reading this thread, if any of the moderator, expert or admin staff see code appearing on this thread in answer to the original question you can be sure that you will be dealt with very severely.
Ok....I can't believe I need to say this. So listen very carefully.
Writing out the steps that you need to do *to write the code* that will solve this problem IS THE SAME AS WRITING THE CODE!
An answer like: "declare 6 variables named l,m,n,o,p, and foo. Then put them in a dozen do...while loops with the test in the while being if (chicken < eggs), then increment the square root of an orange divided by one trip around the sun" IS JUST CODE WRITTEN OUT IN ENGLISH INSTEAD OF CODE!
I'm starting to get a little miffed, so please do not push my buttons further.
Now in response to the poorly phrased question at the beginning of this farce of a thread. You have been given a good hint to use two for loops, one nested in the other. It is now up to you to think about your problem, design a solution and see how two for loops fit into to your answer. Once you have code written, if it does not work, you can post a *snippit*, let me repeat myself... a *snippit* of your code that is causing you problems, not the whole thing! You must ask a pointed and well formed question along with your code if you expect to get any serious help.
If anyone has anything more useful to add *that is not code* please feel free to do so, I can't imagine what would be more useful then a hint to use two for loops but I am sure there is something out there.
