loop question

[nuthead]

Hello,

Can anyone help me fix this program?
That's all i can do.

#include<stdio.h>

#define ROW 9
#define COL 11

int main(void)
{
     int i, j;

     for(i=1; i<=ROW; i++)
     {
          for(j=1; j<i+1; j++)  
               printf("*");
               printf("\n");
     }
        
     for(i=0; i<COL; i++)
          printf("*");
          printf("\n");

     for(i=1; i<=ROW; i++)
     {
          for(j=0; j<ROW-i; j++)        
               printf("*");
               printf("\n");
     }
     return 0;
}


OUTPUT
------

***
****
*****
******

Press any key to continue

My CORRECT OUTPUT should look like this
"-"=spaces

i'm a bit confused. how do you expect to get spaces in your output if there isnt a printf (" ") anywhere in it?

A simple solution to this problem would be to initialize all the elements of an array of the appropriate size to 0. Then just assign the '*' to the necessary elements.
