Hey guys, my question was just i understand how the program works and well this program works fine but where question comes in at is the second part of this program. For example the second part asks to print an asterisk for every 5 values instead of 1 asterisk for every value. Ive been trying to declare variables where i would replace the print action of "*" from one value to printing 5 values but each time i keep getting errors. Well anyway if anyone could help going in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure how I should put this so I'm not giving you the answer directly.

So let's say someone picked the number 30 5 times. If your key is to print one asterisk PER one time putting the number 30 in.
You can display this ratio as 1:1
If you need 1 asterisk per 5 inputs. You can display this ratio as 1:5.

So the first number is how many asterisks you need per value, the second number is how many values you need to have a asterisk.
Plus remember ratios are also fractions, and fractions are just division problems.
