Answer:
I am writing a C++ program. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.
#include <iostream> //to use input output functions
using namespace std; // to identify objects like cin cout
int main(){ //start of main() function body
int n; // number of asterisks
cout<<"how many asterisks do you want to print? "; //asks user how many asterisks it should print
cin>>n; // reads the value of number of asterisks that user want to print
for( int i=0; i< n; i++) { //loop to display the number of asterisks in output
printf("*"); } } // print * asterisks
Explanation:
I will explain how the for loop works.
Suppose the user entered 3 as number of asterisks that user wants to print.
So n=3
Now for loop has a variable i that is initialized to 0. For loop checks if the value of i is less than that of n. It is true because i=0 and n=3 and 0<3. So the body of the loop executes. This prints the first asterisk *
Then the value of i is incremented to 1 and becomes i=1
At next iteration loop again checks if value of i is less than n. It is true because i=1 and n=3 and 1<3. So the body of the loop executes. This prints the second asterisk **
Then the value of i is incremented to 1 and becomes i=2
At next iteration loop again checks if value of i is less than n. It is true because i=2 and n=3 and 2<3. So the body of the loop executes. This prints the third asterisk ***
Then the value of i is incremented to 1 and becomes i=3
At next iteration loop again checks if value of i is less than n. This time it evaluates to false because i=3 and n=3 so 3=3. So the loop ends and the output is

The output screenshot is attached.
