C++

For an assignment I need to have a program print the inputted number, and every number before it in sequence ex:

1
12
123
1234
12345
123456

I can get it to print a list of the number but for the love of god I cant get it to print the numbers before hand.  I know theres a simple way to do it nesting a while loop in a for loop but I can't fucking figure it out.

Help for a poor retarded aspiring programmer?

I love it how perl, considered here the most line noisy language among all popular provides the most concise and readable solution for the problem. Just have a look at that punctuation-fest ruby.
