String Streams

[Stroumfs]

Hello everyone...

I have the following problem and i have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone help?

Write a procedure that takes a string as its parameter and which prints out a pattern made out of the string. For example, given the string "XMAS", it would output the following:

X
MM
AAA
SSSS

You might like to look under the Articles section for c/c++. I believ AdrianH has posted some tutorials how to make patterns from asterisks. I would imagine that would help you to get started, and give you an idea of how to create the pattern!

Hi,
You can write a function which takes the character to print and the position of the character and you can print the character that many number of times.

<code removed as per posting guidelines>

Since this is small part i have posted the code....if it against posting guidelines the sorry about that and please remove it.

try here (cleverly titled something about asterix so you would automatically assume Goscinny and Udzero ;))

Hello everyone!

thank you for your replies..i tried by myself and i wrote the following piece of code. But i can't compile it. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code?
thnx

[code=cpp]#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{

int counter,i,y;
char text[30];
cout << "Please enter a string : ";
int couter =0;
while ((text[counter]!= '\n') && (counter<30)){
cin>> text[counter++];
}
for (i=0;i<counter; i++)
{
for(y=0;y<=i;y+ +)
{
cout << text[i];
}
cout << '\n' ;
}
}[/code]

Ehm,is there a problem with the title.

PS:I forgot to ask:

Can u,or someone else, please change it to asterisks?

To print this:

X
MM
AAA
SSSS

using an array just recognize that the number of times to display the character is the array element number + 1.

Just write an outer loop that counts from 0 to the end of the array

Then write an inner loops that runs from 0 to the count+1 of the outer loop. You display the character in this inner loop.

I am sorry but i don't understand you. I think that i have done what you suggest in my code. and still i don't understand why my code doesn't work.it seems ok to me.

Can you be more specific please...

thx

This code:
[code=cpp]
cout << text[i];
[/code]

maybve should be
[code=cpp]
cout << text[y];
[/code]

Here's what I did:
[code=cpp]
char msg[] = "XMAS";
for(int i =0; i < 4; ++i)
{
for(int j = 0; j < i + 1;++j)
{
cout << msg[i];
}
cout <<endl;
}
[/code]

which is what I think you meant to do.

NO problem with your title......Sorr y, I thought you had concealed a joke in there (and I can't change it - i don't have my magic powers in here)

BTW: I'm terribly sorry, I gave AdrianH credit for that one......you can kill me next time.....
