    Question A little problem with for loop

    Hello guys, I have created a program that will display the array in the screen character by character with spaces in between. Now what I need to do is to display it in a diamond like pattern (1 inverted triangle and 1 normal triangle) with the first letter of the array in the middle.
    Here's my code for the array:
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    int main()
    {
     clrscr();
     char input[100];
     int index,x=33,y=13;
     printf("Enter name: ");
     gets(input);
        for(index = 0; input[index] != '\0'; index++){
        gotoxy(x,y);
        cout<<input[index];
        x+=2;
        cout<<" ";
    }
    getch();
    return 0;
    }

    This is barely C++, you might want to try your luck in the C subforum. Please get a modern compiler (they're free, so no excuses).

    ^ Stop using that too.

    Are you sure you're supposed to be moving the cursor around the console like that?

    These types of problems usually rely on calculating numbers of spaces to print in order to achieve the desired shape.
