    Angry Write a program that prints a pattern of asterisks?

    Refer to the attached file to see the printout of patterns.

    Write a C program that prints the following patterns separately one below the other. Use for loops to generate the patterns. All patterns should be printed by a single printf statement of the form printf("*"); (this causes the asterisks to print side by side). Hint: The last two patterns require that each line begin with an appropriate number of blanks.

    Please help! I am having much difficulty figuring this out.
    Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Have you actually tried writing some code? If so, and you'd like some advice on it, post it here.

    If you want a tip.... read the assignment again. It's pretty obvious what you have to do, you're even told roughly how to do it.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    try something like this first:

    Code:
    for(numline=0;numline<=10;numline++)
    {
       for(numstar=0;numstar<=numline;numstar++)
      {
          etc.
       }
    }
