hi guys
would anyone point out why this simple console doesnt compile???
i dont know whats wrong?

1. You misspelt "Length".
2. i is out of scope by the time you come to the second loop. I presume this was meant to be a nested loop. Since only the first statement is inside the first loop, you would need to enclose the two statements in a pair of braces.
3. C# is case sensitive: MessageBoxButtons has a member OK, but no member ok.
   [/list=1]
   
   Also, your inner loop was counting from 1 to n - 1, so would have printed one too few asterisks.
   
   Heres an alternative, using a string constructor instead of a nested loop:
   
   [CS]
   using System;
   using System.Windows.Forms;
   
   class Histogram
   {
   static void Main()
   {
   int[] n = { 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 9, 15 };
   string output = "element\tsubscript\thistogram\r\n";
   
   for (int i = 0; i < n.Length; i++)
   output += i + "\t" + n + "\t" + new string(*, n) + "\r\n";
   
   MessageBox.Show(output, "histogram",
   MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
   }
   }
   [/CS]
   
   Hope you like that.
