Thread: Pattern Printing

I want to print the following pattern,

ABCDEFGH
ABC FGH
AB GH
A H


I wrote the following programmfor it but It ends up in an Infinite Loop. Someone please help me out.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
int count1, count2,num1,num2,num3,num4,m,n;
 clrscr();
 for(m=4;m>=0;m--)
 {
 for(num1=65;num1<65+m;num1++)
  {
  printf("%c",num1);
 }
  for(count1=0;count1<=((4-m)*2);count1=count1+2)
  {
  while(count1>0)
   {
   printf(" ");
  }
 }
  for(num2=(74-m);num2<=73;num2++)
  {
  printf("%c",num2);
 }
  printf("\n");
}
 getch();
 return 0;
}

Code:

while(count1>0) {
printf(" ");
}

You need to decrement count1.

EDIT: Aside from that, you don't want a while loop there, change it too an if statement instead.
