How do you get that score? Is it in a file, is it input through the command line? Gotten off a webpage? (Once you read it in, you can output it however you want)

i apologize if its too large for forums, don't know what your policy is, now what i need to do is display each persons score with an X so if you have 25 i need 25 x's vertically. i've attached a sample of what it should look like, i know i need a loop just don't know the format

Vertically, as in:

Player 1   Player 2   Player 3
X          X          X
X          X          X
X          X
X          X
X          X
X
X
X

?

well names are on bottom but yes like that

You should just use a for... loop going from the max value to 1. If the player's score is equal to or greater than the index, print an X for them. All you have to worry about then is formatting it to make it look pretty - enough spaces, and all that.
