Thread: [Help] Character pyramid with incrementing characters

So far this is my code for the diamond using all the same character. I think that the second nested for loop is gonna be where the action takes place to get the characters to change but I'm just not sure.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
    char usr_char;
    int usr_rows;
    int screen_width = 80;
    int i, j, k, space;

    printf("-----CHARACTER DIAMOND-----\n");
    printf("Enter a character: ");
    scanf("%c", &usr_char);

    printf("Enter an odd number between 1 and 40 (rows): ");
    scanf("%d", &usr_rows);

    //Print top half of diamond
    space = (screen_width / 2) - 1;
    for(i = 0; i < (usr_rows / 2) + 1; i++){
        for(j = 0; j < space; j++){
            printf(" ");
        }
        for(k = space + 1; k < (screen_width - space); k++){
            printf("%c", usr_char);
        }
        printf("\n");
        space -= 2;
    }

    //Print bottom half of diamond
    space = (screen_width / 2) - (usr_rows - 2);
    for(i = 0; i < (usr_rows / 2); i++){
        for(j = 0; j < space; j++){
            printf(" ");
        }
        for(k = space + 1; k < (screen_width - space); k++){
            printf("%c", usr_char);
        }
        printf("\n");
        space += 2;
    }

    return(0);
}

Here's a hint

Code:

        char c = usr_char;
        for(k = space + 1; k < (screen_width - space); k++){
            printf("%c", c++);
        }
