How do I create this pyramid in C using loops?

Question

--* *--

The dashes represent spaces & should be blank space instead. I had to put them to properly format the question. The pyramid should be formatted exactly as above. i.e. spaces for dashes b/w 2 asterisk signs & margins.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Well, this should work:

#define WIDTH 8

int main() {

  int i, j;

  for (i = 0; i < WIDTH/2; i++) {

    for (j = 0; j < WIDTH/2 - i; j++) printf(" ")

    for (j = 0; j < i; j++) printf("* ");

    printf("\n");

  }

  return 0;

}

Hope that works!

Answer 2

include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

#define SPACE' '

#define MID 40

int main()

{

int i,line,n;

clrscr();

printf("\nEnter No. of line::");

scanf("%d",&n);

for(line=1;line<=n;line++)

{

printf("\n");

for(i=1;i<=MID-line;i++)          //loop for space

printf("%c",SPACE);

for(i=1;i<=line;i++)              //loop for accending

printf("*");

for(i=line-1;i>=1;i--)              //loop  for descending

printf("*");

}

getch();

return 0;

}
