    'For Loop' example

    I am learning c for last one week. While learning for loop one of my friend challenged to code a program with two for loop that produce output like below......


    This Is For-loop example:

    * * * *
    * * *
    * *
    *


    I tried it but had to use more for-loops. Any idea

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    But think about it. You have a certain number of lines and a certain number of asterisks per line. So you need one loop for the number of lines and one for the number of asterisks per line.
