Thread: Is there a better way?

I have this finished and it works perfect. I was wondering if there is a better way of writeing the code.

Thank You

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"

#using <mscorlib.dll>

using namespace System;

int _tmain()
{

	/*counter variables*/
	int i;
	int j;
	/*variable for decrement value*/
	int x=5;


	/*1st loop for values 0-5*/
	for (i=0; i<=5; i++)
	{
		for (j=0; j<=i; j++)
		{
			printf("%d", j);
		}
		printf("\n");
	}

	/*2nd loop for decrementing values 4-0*/
	for (i=0; i<=5; i++)
	{
		for (j=0; j<x;j++)
		{
			printf("%d", j);
		}
		x=x--;
		printf("\n");
	}
	return 0;
}

is this the only mistake that I have made, dam not bad. And yes to your question, but I understand what your saying. Is there anything I could fix to make this simple?

Thank You

I am useing Visual Studio to write C. And this is what comes up when you use .net 2003

But Thank you all for helpping me with this. I have learn alot for this forum, by going through everything that has been posted.

Okay, just making sure you're aware that parts of what you gave above is not C.

Replace everything upto and include int _tmain() with:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)

And you have a valid C program.

I can think of ways to make your code smaller, but not simpler.

I did what you said, and I also rem out the xx--;. but now when I run the program it doesn't go to the fifth number in the line. Run the program and you will see what I mean.

Thank You

Don't comment it out completely just do a
x--;
instead of
x=x--;
