Answer 1

Well I just didn't understand what was your purpose by writing this program?! What output do you want to make? And also when you wrote "using namespace std" you dont have to write "std::" every time you want to use cout...

Answer 2

What an abomination.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if ((i % 4 == 0) || (i % 4 == 1)) {
cout << " #### ####" << endl;
} else {
cout << "###################" << endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
