    cant solve my program's error

    I'm a beginner !!I dono why illegal break error happen in this code!!!

    Code:
    void draw_triangle(){
    
    	while (1){
    	int scounter;
    	int spacechar=32;
    	char starchar='*';
    	int hcounter;
    	int length;
    	
    	
    
    	printf("input height");
    	scanf("%d",&length);
    
    	if(length<=0){
    		printf(" the length is incorrect \n  input the correct height");
    		continue ;	}
    
    	int height = length/2 +1;
    
    	while (height>0){
    	
               
    		for (scounter=height-1 ; scounter>0 ; scounter--){
    
    		
    			printf("%c",spacechar);}
    		
    		for (hcounter=(length-2*(height-1)); hcounter>0; hcounter--){
    
    			printf("%c",starchar);
    		
    		}
    		
    		
    	
    		printf("\n");
    		height=height-1;
    	
    	}
    
    
    		printf("enjoy Ur choice");
    		printf("select Ur next choice");

    You have a break statement at the end that should not be there.

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