how to do this ?

[Petr_Kropotkin]

I am trying to write a program that does this:

*
**
***
****
*****
******
*******
I have most of the code. I can't figure how to produce the spaces. Can I see some code to produce it ?
The code I have so far is:

for(t=1;t<12;t++)
        {
        //* LOPE CODE FOR SPACES
             for(n=12;n>t;--n)
                 cout << "*";
                 cout <<endl;
             }
 
           cout<<endl;

for(t=1;t<12;t++)
        {
        //* LOPE CODE FOR SPACES
             for(n=12;n>t;--n)
                 cout << "*";
                 cout <<endl;
             }

           cout<<endl;

What spaces?

[ecanela]

please post a more complete description of the problem.

It didn't print right upon the first posting.
See image below:

How would you produce those spaces ?

[aamer4yu]

Use a third loop to print the spaces

[Petr_Kropotkin]

Where
I tried a third loop it printed it wrong.
Like this:

for(t=1;t<12;t++)
        {
        for(j=1;j<=t;++j)
         cout<< " ";
             for(n=12;n>t;--n)
                 cout << "*";
                 cout <<endl;
             }
 
           cout<<endl;

for(t=1;t<12;t++)
        {
        for(j=1;j<=t;++j)
         cout<< " ";
             for(n=12;n>t;--n)
                 cout << "*";
                 cout <<endl;
             }
 
           cout<<endl;

Your second loop is 1 to t inclusive. So it would print out 1 space, then 2 spaces, then 3 spaces, etc, so it would be the upside down version of your image. Is that correct?

This:

const int chCnt = 6;
for (int ch = 1; ch <= chCnt; ch++)
    qDebug() << QString(" ").repeated(chCnt - ch) + QString("*").repeated(ch);

const int chCnt = 6;
for (int ch = 1; ch <= chCnt; ch++)
    qDebug() << QString(" ").repeated(chCnt - ch) + QString("*").repeated(ch);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

gives:

"     *" 
"    **" 
"   ***" 
"  ****" 
" *****" 
"******"

"     *" 
"    **" 
"   ***" 
"  ****" 
" *****" 
"******"

But your post is under General Programming so maybe this solution is not good for you, but I decided to post it any way

[pitonyak]

I like this particular solution because it uses the repeated method... and I was unaware of the repeated method.

[Petr_Kropotkin]

neat I like it

I solved it shortly after.

@tsp
really the Qt(cute) way to do it !!
