For Loop question for printing characters

[trprince]

I am trying to print this flag---to have all the three columns of colors print side by side with a given input. this is what i have so far:

flagWidth = flagSize * 3;
 lineColor = flagSize;                                                                
  for(lineColor = 0; lineColor < flagWidth; lineColor++){                              
      for(lineColor2 = 0; lineColor2 < flagWidth; lineColor2++){                         
        color = 'B';                                                                     
        printf("&#37;c", color);                                                             
      }                                                                                  
      printf("\n");                                                                      
      for(lineColor = 0; lineColor < flagWidth; lineColor++){                            
        for(lineColor2 = 0; lineColor2 < flagWidth; lineColor2++){                       
          color = 'R';                                                                   
          printf("%c", color);                                                           
        }                                                                                
        printf("\n");                                                                    
      }                   
  for(lineColor = 0; lineColor < flagWidth; lineColor++){                            
        for(lineColor2 = 0; lineColor2 < flagWidth; lineColor2++){                       
          color = 'G';                                                                   
          printf("%c",color);                                                            
        }                                                                                
        printf("\n");                                                                    
      }                                                                                  
    }                                                                                    
  }                                                                                      
  else

lineColor = flagSize;

That statement is redundant. You assign a different value to lineColor in the very next line, in the initialization section of a for loop.

Are you looking for something like this?

RRR GGG BBB
RRR GGG BBB
RRR GGG BBB

while right now you have something like this?

RRR
RRR
RRR

GGG
GGG
GGG

BBB
BBB
BBB

In that case, I'm going to quote myself:

Remember that you have to print all of the data you want on a line before you print a newline. Once you print a newline, you can't modify that line at all any more.

In other words, you have to print "RRR GGG BBB" at one time, before you go printing a newline.

You've almost got it, but you're printing newlines by accident instead of spaces. Try replacing your first two

printf("\n");

with

printf(" ");

and see what happens.
