[C] For Loop

[zero2]

Im pretty much a beginner at this, and I just wanted to know if it is possible to
to print a series of astericks, such as the below design which I just made up, using the for loop.

The structure of the for loop is:

for (i=0; i <= limit; i++)

The limit variable it would seem like it should be equal to 2, but then here' s where I get stuck, how do you compare a character such as the * to a limit which is an integer, it doesn't really make sense, so I was wondering if this possible, or if should I try some other alternative.

[Stiltzkin]

for(i=0; i<3; i++)
printf("**\n");

That should work, but I just typed it up real quick without thinking too much.
Also, why would you want to compare a character to an integer in the first place?

expand on the code by Stilzkin

for(i=0; i<nRows; i++)
{
for(j =0;j<nCols; j++)
printf("*");
prinrf("\n");
}

pardon any syntax errors, my C is kinda rusty. Hope you get the idea

Thanks that works, I don't think I would of ever thought of doing it that way.
