maybe it's turbo c that is wrong,not me

i quite wonder why.

 while (i<=4)
	{for(j=0;j<17;j++)
	    {if(j==4+i||j==4-i||j==12+i||j==12-i)
		printf("*");
	     else
		printf(" ");
	    }
	  printf("\n");
	 i++;
	}

this is a M made of *,well,i want several more of it,then i add outside the block a do-while function,like this,

  m=0; 
    do{
         while (i<=4)
	{for(j=0;j<17;j++)
	        {if (j==4+i||j==4-i||j==12+i||j==12-i)
		printf("*");
	          else
		printf(" ");
	        }
	    printf("\n");
	        i++;
	 }
          m++;
      }while(m<=100)

it doesn't output anything but a move of cursoe.

Instead of pondering why Turbo C can't output a * where you need it, you might want to think about your programming logic, and why it won't put a * on the screen, where you need it.

Go on and try it with another compiler - see if it works!

Will it be Visual C's fault maybe, not week?

May-be you need to reset the variable i?

Exactly. Turbo C is not at fault here. One thing novices need to learn is to look for their own mistakes, rather than assuming it must be the compiler at fault.

Great case of: it's not my fault it's gotta be someone else's...

Whatever I say: Maybe it's the English language that's wrong. Not me.
