Thread: loop

is it possible to output like this using only one loop? if yes, how?

target output

Code:

ABCDE
EDCBA

here is my code but using one loop im not getting my target output

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    int x, y;
    
    for(x='a', y='e'; x<='e'; x++, y--)
    {
        printf("%c\n%c", x, y);
    }
    getch();
}

Because of how standard streams work, you will have to print one line at a time. There are ways to use the same loop to print both of the lines, but you will have to print one line at a time.

okay, thanks you =)

and to Salem, yep, been posting to different programming forums so, making sure my questions will be answered.

You could use an array for the output:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char array[64];
int n = 26;
int i;

    for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
        array[    i] = 'A' + (char) i;
        array[i+n+1] = 'A' + (char) (n-i-1);
    }

    array[    n] = '\n';
    array[2*n+1] = '\n';
    array[2*n+2] = 0;
    printf("%s", array);

    return(0);
}
