Solution with loop:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
		if (i == 1 || i == 5)   cout << "CCCCCCC" << endl;
		else if (i == 2 || i == 4) cout << "C         +      +" << endl;
		else            cout << "C       +++++  +++++" << endl;
	}
}

Solution without loop:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout << "CCCCCCC" << endl;
	cout << "C         +      +" << endl;
	cout << "C       +++++  +++++" << endl;
	cout << "C         +      +" << endl;
	cout << "CCCCCCC" << endl;
