but ive learned some new stuff but I don't know how to use it yet.

  Oh, good point. I forget what its like to be a beginner sometimes :)

  You could just have :

  cout <<  "DDDDDDDDD        " << endl;
  cout <<  "DDDDDDDDDDD      " << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD  DDDDDDDD    " << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD     DDDDDDD  " << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD        DDDDDD" << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD          DDDD" << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD          DDDD" << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD        DDDDDD" << endl;
  cout <<  "DDD     DDDDDDD  " << endl;

  for a weird looking D. Then once you have it printing out like that, 
  work out how to use a for loop to spit out the same pattern :)

  I can't remember how soon I was introduced to arrays when I started to 
  learn programming (you never really stop), i am sure it wasn't that late 
  though....

  How beginner are you anyway? Like a total n00b who has never written 
  anything apart from "hello world"?
