The Code.txt

hey......did you find it ?????

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        int counter =1;
        int x;
       
               
                printf( " Enter numbers between 1 to 30 \n " );
               
        while( counter <= 5 ){
                       
               
       
                printf( "\nEnter the number\n " );
                scanf( " %d " ,&x );

                                        while( x <= 30 ){
               

                                                                x = x - 1;
                                                                printf( "*" );       


                                                                        if( x == 0 )
                                                                        {
                                                                                break;
                                                                                }
                       
                                                                                                }
               
                counter = counter + 1;
               
        }

        printf( " \nThe End\n\n " );


                return 0;


}

first, can you write a code to print the amount of * equal to a number the user inputs?

Code:

---

scanf( " %d " ,&x );

---

Check it..

I already did it in the code shown......

in the loop >>>>>> while( x <= 30 )....it will do successive subtraction from the number the put * to each 1 subtracted until the number is zero it came out of this loop and increase the counter and so on.....

@ rob90

what do you mean by checking it .....

I know that something must be done before something but I don't get it !!!!!

Since you still dont get it I'll tell you, you put an extra space in the scanf() function, change it with

Code:

---

scanf("%d", &x);

---

Moreover you can simplify you program by doing something like:

Code:

---

scanf("%d", &x);
for(j=0;j<x;j++) putchar('*');
.... // continue the loop

---

You dont need to make any subtraction

IT REALLY WORKS :D:D:D:D:D


really thank you for your help...."Grazie mille"...

Thanks

This is the problem:

Code:

---

scanf( " %d " ,&x );

---

Take the spaces out of the quotes.
