Hay guys, I have to take a stupid C course, and since I hate programming and computers in general, I am find some stuff hard. Like this questions.

I gotta write a program using only the following three output statements

(Each one appearing ONLY ONCE in your program):

printf("* "); printf(" "); printf("\n");

I am only allowed to use stuff like the if, and while stuff, and the output is supposed to be

* * * * * * * *

_ * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

_ * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

_ * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

_ * * * * * * * *

(_ means a space, I cant get it to show)

If you help me I be best friend long time!

Here is the code I have so far, it doesn't work :(

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
? ? ? ?int counter1;
? ? ? ?int counter2;
? ? ? ?int counter3;
? ? ? ?counter1 = 0;
? ? ? ?counter2 = 0;
? ? ? ?counter3 = 0;
while ( counter1 != 4 ) {
? ? ? ?while ( counter2 != 8 ) {
? ? ? ?counter2 = counter2 + 1;
? ? ? ?counter3 = counter3 + 1;
? ? ? ?printf ( "* " );
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?if ( counter3 == 8 ) {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?printf ( "\n" );
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?printf ( " " );
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?}

? ? ? ?}
counter1 = counter1 + 1;
counter3 = 0;
counter2 = 0;
}
return 0;
}

This should work dawg

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 int iLines = 0;
 int iStars = 0;
 
 
 while ( iLines != 8 )
 {
   while ( iStars != 8 )
   { 
     if ( (iLines % 2) == 1 && iStars == 0 )
     {
       printf( " " );
     }
     
     printf( "*" );
     iStars++;
   }
   iStars = 0;  
   printf( "\n" );
   iLines++;
 }
 return 0;
}

iLines % 2 returns 1 if odd, else returns 0 if even.

I have no idea what's going on in this thread.

}

 

iLines % 2 returns 1 if odd, else returns 0 if even.
