Why compilation error?

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { for(int d = 4; d > 1; d--) { d *= d; cout << d << endl; } cout << "D = " << d; }

Another reason could be that variable d will never be less than or equal to 0 so it will run infinitely.

You tried to output d outside the for loop..that variable only exists within the loop's scope,Declare it outside the loop then your code will work.
