Help formatting a for loop.

[near marsh]

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a project for my c++ class, and need a little help formatting a for loop for what I am trying to do. Thank you all in advance! (I will be posting my code and what it is supposed to do in the comments)

whats the command for pasting the code in discord style

[zinc nova]

and to align things nicely, you're most likely looking for std::setw

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    //program code goes here
    int startingPop;
    int increase;
    int days;
    int day;

    cout << "Lovebug Population Estimator\n\n";
    cout << "Enter the starting number of lovebugs:  ";
    cin >> startingPop;
    if (startingPop < 2)
    {
        cout <<
    }
    cout << "\nEnter the average daily percent increase (%):  ";
    cin >> increase;
    increase = increase / 100;
    cout << "\nEnter the number of days to multiply:  ";
    cin >> days;
    cout << "\n\nDay\tPopulation\n";
    for (day = 1; day <= days; day++);
    {
        cout << day << "\n";
    }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

i also changed that first if statement to be able to validate input better and not break the program haha

for (day = 1; day <= days; day++);
    {
        cout << day << "\n";
    }

how would i get this to print out like 1, 2, 3, 4...etc until it hits "days" which would be a user input anywhere from 1 to inf?
