    Why not use the intuitive for loop as I showed you? When you have a CERTAIN number you need to stop at, a for loop is just the clearer choice. When you have an unknown number of loops to make, then a while loop seems quite natural, and a better choice.

    This line wont do what you think:
    Code:
    printf("//|   |\\   |\n");
    Backslash is the escape character, which is used for things such as \n to do a newline etc.
    This means the above gives you one backslash, not two. You'll want to use this to get two backslashes:
    Code:
    printf("//|   |\\\\   |\n");
