For example, a pattern of size 5 had 5 rows and 5 columns and each row is made up of characters @ and a digit of the size given. This digit must be between 2 and 9.
sample:
5@@@@
@5@@@
@@5@@
@@@5@
@@@@5
and
@@@@@
5@@@@
55@@@
555@@
5555@
This is what I have so far and I dont know what to change. And yes, I am a total beginner.
Code:int i; int j; for (i=0;i<size;i++) { for (j=0;j<size;j++) { printf("@"); } printf("\n"); }
That's a good start, your code prints a square of @ symbols.
Inside your "j" loop you'll need an if statement that decides whether to print a @ or the digit.
If I'm in row 2, column 4, do I need to print a @ or a 5? How about row 1, column 1? Can you describe the pattern that decides whther it should be a @ or a 5? Once you can do that, it should be very easy to put that into your if statement.
Code:while(!asleep) { sheep++; }
The pattern I see for the first triangle is that for the row/column 1, it will print the digit and then row/column 2, it will print the digit again, and so on. But I just can't put it in code...Originally Posted by TheBigH
Good. So if the number of the row (variable i) is equal to the number of the column (variable j) print a 5, otherwise print a @.
If I just hand out the code you won't learn anything, but the previous sentence is pretty much all you need. Just translate it into code form. The bolded parts are hints.
Code:while(!asleep) { sheep++; }
Yea, now it makes sense...Thanks!
