Yes, thanks for the remark, here is the corrected version. Now that I look to the picture he provided, as I understand, only height = 0 is ignored but not height = 1. Also for each height H and line number N, there is H - N spaces before the current line.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int height = -1;
    int line = 0;
    int counter = 0;
    
    while (height < 0 || height > 23)
    {
        printf("Enter the height: ");
        scanf("%d", &height);
    }
    printf("\n");
    
    for(line = 1; line <= height; line++)
    {
        int spaceNum = height - line;
        int spaceCounter = 1;
        for (spaceCounter = 0; spaceCounter < spaceNum ; spaceCounter++)
            printf(" ");
        for(counter = 0; counter <= line ; counter++)
            printf("#");
        
        printf("\n");
    }
    
    
    return 0;
}

Which gives the following result

Code:

$ gcc -Wall testscript.c -o testscript
$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 0

$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 1

##
$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 2

 ##
###
$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 3

  ##
 ###
####
$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 4

   ##
  ###
 ####
#####
$ ./testscript 
Enter the height: 8

       ##
