    You've gotta make some kind of effort.
    You can't just dump your assignment and expect us to do all your homework for you.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
      for(;;)
      {
        puts("A B C D E F G F E D C B A");
        puts("A B C D E F F E D C B A");
        puts("A B C D E E D C B A");
        puts("A B C D D C B A");
        puts("A B B A");
        puts("A A");
        break;
      }
      return 0;
    }
    Just kidding. Seriously though, here's the one I'd turn in:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
      char *strings[] =
      {
        "A B C D E F G F E D C B A",
        "A B C D E F F E D C B A",
        "A B C D E E D C B A",
        "A B C D D C B A",
        "A B B A",
        "A A"
      };
    
      int i;
      for(i = 0;i < 6;++i)
        puts(strings[i]);
      return 0;
    }

    Change this to a 7. If it remained a 6, "A A" wouldn't be printed. You could also do i <= 6 for the second part of the for loop. That would print "A A", too.

    Oh, and for future reference, don't go around doing people's homework for them.

    Seriously? Are you really serious?

    First, you're wrong about the loop condition needing to be 7 instead of 6. Go ahead. Try it.

    Second, do you really believe that that program demonstrated what the OP's instructor was looking for? Get real.

    You skipped the "A B C C B A" line and he was probably just assuming it was there, hence the 7?

    Probably. That doesn't change the fact that he was wrong about the functionality of my program.
