1. Input number of stars (call it NumStars)
2. Loop i for 1 to NumStars
3. Print i number of stars (you can use another loop here for j=1 to i)
4. Repeat loop
5. Loop i from NumStars down to 1
6. Print i number of stars (you can use another loop here for j=1 to i)
7. Repeat loop
That should help. Good luck.
N
#include
int main()
{
int maxNumberOfStars, i, j, flag = 0;
printf("Please enter the maximum number of stars: ");
scanf("%d", &maxNumberOfStars);
for(i = 0; i < (2 * maxNumberOfStars); i++)
{
if(i == maxNumberOfStars)
flag = 1;
if(!flag)
{
for(j = 0; j <= i; j++)
printf("*");
}
else
{
for(j = (2 * maxNumberOfStars) - i; j > 0; j--)
printf("*");
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
I have an assignment due and I really need some help... Please and thank you!!
You are asked to input a number between 1 and 10. Using just for loops, output a series of stars starting with one star on a line and then incrementing the number of stars on the line until the line contains the number of stars entered. Then decreasing the number of stars per line until only a single star is on the output line.
Example:
Please enter the maximum number of stars.
5
