problem with the program

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
    int i,j;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    printf("\n");
    for(j=0;j<5;j++)
      {
          if(i>=j)
          printf("* ");
          else
          printf(" ");
      }

}

i want to get output as
*
**
***
****
*****

but the above code did not work....please help me where it went wrong.....

There is no need of the else statement and you have misplaced the printf("\n"); statement. It should be at the end of the first for loop.

you do not need if at all, just make the inner loop

Code:

---

for(j=0;j<=i;j++)

A couple of issues with your program are the following:

1. Never use simple main. Use int main(void) and make sure you return 0 at the end of the program.

2. With the above program there are a lot of problems.

Code:

---


#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
    int i,j;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    printf("\n");
    for(j=0;j<5;j++)
      {
          if(i>=j)
          printf("* ");
          else
          printf(" ");
      }

}

Your first for loop is not having any {}. So its scope is just to the next line. And instead of the second for loop do the following

So it should be like this

Code:

---

for(i=0;i<5;i++)
        {
    printf("\n");
    for(j=0;j<= i;j++)
      {
          printf("* ");
      }
        }
