Well now let's analyze your 'solution' shall we.

Agreed the 'specification' is a little lacking but as we are unable to 
go back to the client at this time we need to make some assumptions.

Assumption 1. It's 'homework'

OK, now what do you imagine the learning objectives are?

Well it certainly looks 'loopy' so

Assumption 2. It's intended to get the student to learn about loop 
control variables, possibly to control nested loops.

The output is numeric so

Assumption 3. It's intended to exercise some understanding of 
manipulation of numeric variables ...

Well that's about it for the assumptions, now how does your solution 
meet the objectives?

... ah yes, String concatenation in a for loop

1/10 for effort
