How to do this?

Re: How to do this?

In fact, here is the required instruction:

Use for loops to generate the appterns. All asterisks (*) should be
printed by a single statement of the form Console.Write( '*' ); Use a
statement of Console.WriteLi ne( ) to position to the next line; Use a
statement of Console.WriteLi ne( "" ) to display a space.

another option is e whoch ich exit the program; Any thing other than
a,b,c,e, will prompt error messagebox. I can do all that.

I just need logic how to go about the pattern.

NOTE: I will use switch to allow selction; to make trangles and
diamonds, I want to use arrays in
the loop. If possible, I would like to make one or two methods of
making traingles (of different orienatation) and then call them to
display desired pattern. Any guide?

Geez...haven't the teachers gotten new ideas for homework assignments? I
remember being assigned something like this almost thirty years ago.

Anyway, I think you'll get more out of the help if you go directly to your
teacher or teaching assistant. They can not only provide insight into the
implementation, they can explain better than someone here can the missing
pieces that may be preventing you from seeing the solution in the first
place.

They are there to help...you should take advantage of that. (And if they
aren't helping, let their supervisors know!)

I suspect (and hope) that no-one on the group will do your homework for
you. However, if you say exactly which part of the pattern logic you're
having problems with, how far you've got with it, and what code you've
already got, we may be able to help you.

Re: How to do this?

think about this as a looping problem .. notice that a triangle is ..

* 1
** 2
*** 3
etc ...

this little bit of knowledge and some reading up on how for loops work
should get you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Cheers,

I got the traingles showing below one another by callign thefollowing
functions:

public static void Triangle1()
{ for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < 8; i++)
{ for (int c = 0; c <= j; c++)
Console.Write(" *");
Console.WriteLi ne();
j++;
}
} // end Triangle1( )

public static void Triangle2()
{ for (int i = 8, j = 1; i 0; i--)
{
for (int c = 8; c >= j; c--)
Console.Write(" *");
Console.WriteLi ne();
j++;
}
}

Now, I am trying the triagles showing side by side like this - I am
trying to show the first two):

* ***** ***** *
** **** **** **
*** *** *** ***
**** ** ** ****
***** * * *****

I didn't expect anything else but this. I am just surprised that there
are not more people saying it. The funny thing about people is that
they are either blinded by their ego, and act arrogant or they judge
others with their standard.

I am auditing the class and I am trying to learn C# and in the process,
are doing these assignments. Note that in my initial post, I
said,"Suggest me with logic". I didn't say write code for me but then
your ego has blinded you such that you couldn't even read properly.

What's applied to Jon applies to you too. You can't read properly
either.

Statements such as the above won't help you get decent replies. The
way these things work is that people read posts (maybe scanning many
hundreds of them), they don't have time or inclination to read the
subtlest nuances in every syllable. If one particular posts catches
someone's interest enough, they will reply to it. They don't have to,
they could just pass on to the next one. Now, to me, "ego" is involved
when someone assumes that the whole world is hanging on ones every
word, rather than when people assume (rightly as it happens) that the
problem presented is in fact a classic homework assignment.

So? The sky will fall down when the day arrives that I depend on others
to learn programming.

Btw, is there a groupie thing going on in this ng?

If it is so classic, why is it so diffucult for these egotistical ones
to give some tips like the one who did give?

When I was posting *initially*, I wasn't aware that the instructor
wanted us to use only one line of Console.Write(" *") and I was thinking
of putting *s in an array and hence my question.
