asterick homework problem

[shendelzare0020]

i couldn't find out the right source code for this one:
output should be:

problem number 1).
enter number of asterisks:5
*
**
***
****
*****
try again?[Y/N]: __

-------------------------------------------------------
problem number 2).
enter number of asterisks:5
*****
****
***
**
*
try again?[Y/N]: __

What have you written so far? What ideas do you have? What have you done in an effort to solve this problem alone?

What have you written so far? What ideas do you have? What have you done in an effort to solve this problem alone?

I just encoded this:

#include<stdio. h>
#include<conio. h>
void main (void)
{
int x,y;
char choice;
do{
clrscr();
printf("Enter number of asterisk:");
scanf("%i",&y);
for(x=1;x<=y;x+ +)
{
gotoxy(x*1,x*1+ 2);cprintf("*") ;
}
printf("\ntry again [Y/N]:");
choice=getch();
}while(choice== 'Y' || choice=='y');
getch();
}

and the output is:
*
*
*

the output required is:

Enter number of asterisks: 3
*
**
***
try again [y/n]: __

and the other one goes like this:
Enter number of asterisks: 3
***
**
*
try again [y/n]: __

can you help me pls..i know you can
i just got a little time left;
submission will be tomorrow...
thanks alot!!!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
int i,j,k;
char ch;
clrscr();
printf("Enter the no : ");
scanf("%d",&i);
for(k=0;k<=i;k+ +)
{
for(j=0;j<k;j++ )
{
printf("*");
}
printf("\n");
}

printf("Second Format.....\n") ;
for(k=0;k<=i;k+ +)
{
for(j=i;j>k;j--)
{
printf("*");
}
printf("\n");
}
printf("Press any key to continue....\n" );
getch();
return 0;
}



The above code will generate as both 1 and 2 tasks....
Implement that to continue till user press N....By putting whole program in the Do-While loop....

Loop should start after clrscr() and ends before press anykey to continue....

Try....

it just printed a single asterisk (*)
will i use gotoxy?

The output will be

Enter the no : 5

You must have changed something significant in the code, because it gives the proper output for me (after minor modifications to make it compile in C++).

I have just encoded what rajesh has written but the output did not go like that what i am expecting...by the way i am using a turbo c but i do not know if my compiler is c++ or a c compiler...pls help...

TurboC is a plain C compiler. TurboC++ also exists and compiles C++. They're old but fine compilers.

TurboC is probably not ANSI-compliant because it was released in 1989 and the ANSI standard was finalized in 1990. However, they were tracking the standard as it developed and it shouldn't deviate too much. I would avoid using <conio.h> calls like gotoxy (clrscr is OK I guess) because they're non-standard (fewer compilers and fewer people will recognize them), but more importantly, they're not needed at all here for this very simple assignment. Conio is more for making full-screen applications, not for this kind of simple input-output console app.

Are you required to use TurboC? If not, you could download MinGW and see if it works with that. MinGW is a Windows-native version of the GCC C/C++ compiler. That's a lot of trouble though, probably easier to get TurboC working.

As for the program itself -- sorry, the posted code should work fine.
