    simple triangle

    hi!
    now i need to build this triangle :
    Code:
       *
      **
     ***
    ****
    imagine it's align to the right.
    i have one solution-
    one major loop that controls the number of lines and two loops inside for managing the spaces and chars.

    can you give me another solution?

    thx!!

    Inside the loop for each line, instead of having two loops, one for '*' and one for ' ', think about how you could do those both in one loop with a conditional to print either '*' or ' ' depending on how far through the loop you are.
    hello, internet!

    Well, I have another solution:-

    Code:
    printf("*");
    printf("\n**");
    printf("\n***");
    printf("\n****");
    printf("\n*****");
    Yeah but since your probably doing that triangle thingie as an assigment, I would rather stick to your solution, unless ofcouse you want to freak your prof. out.
    Thanks,
    Sahil

    moi, your advice really helped... thx!
    Code:
    for (i=1;i<=4;i++)
    {
    	for (j=1;j<=4;j++)
    		if (j>4-i)
    			printf("*");
    		else printf(" ");
    	printf("\n");
    }
