    help with code!

    i'm working on a program to receive a word of 6 letters max. then organise it like this.
    exemple: (ps.: just used - to organise the words the way i want)
    --------------------Test
    ---------------Test Test
    ----------Test Test Test
    -----Test Test Test Test
    Test Test Test Test Test

    all that i've got atm is the reverse of this, could som1 help me with this code?
    thanks!!

    Code:
    
    
    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    main()
    {
      int x, y, size;
    
      char name[6];
    
      printf("Type a word: ");
    
      gets(name);
      size = strlen(name);
    
      for (x = 1; x <= size; x++)
      {
        for (y = 1; y <= x; y++)
    
          printf("%s\t", name);
    
        printf("\n");
      }
    
      return 0;
    }

    You just ned some more complicated logic in your inner for loop.
    The outer for loop iterates over the size of the input.
    The inner for loop needs to output a series of dashes, followed by a varying number of copies of the
    input string.

    You've got the copy count correct. As a hint, it might be easiest to have a thhird nested loop to output
    the dashes.

    Same as before.
    Help w/ my code
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Unless you're unwilling to make a sincere effort, don't expect help from anyone here.
