How would you do this.

This is post at www.cprogramming.com and noone seemed to get it. I was just curious if any of you could write down code that could do this.

{
It seems as if no one out their can help me, but I think it may be my fault for not explaining this program clearly. So I will take one more shot at this. Here goes!
what I need is this: (I already have the right side, I just need help on getting the left side). Thanks.

First of all my experience with that board has been bad. I think there is like 5 people that have any IQ on that board. Anyway......

Your link is broke, so I have no idea what your question is. Can you fix the link, or retry your question.

hmm, link works fine for me.

I would have to agree, my experience there has also been bad.

Yeah the link worked this time, but I still dont understand what your question is.
Are you trying to get a print out lined up like that?
Are you trying to get letters like that?
I dont understand what you are after

This what you mean?

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
        int l; // letter
        int n; // letter to count to

        for(n = 1; n <= 26; n++)
        {
                // set l to the current letter
                for(l = n; l >= 1; l--)
                {
                        cout << (char)(96 + l);
                }
                // now start from a to n
                for(l = 1; l <= n; l++)
                {
                        if((96 + l) != 97)// don't repeat a
                                cout << (char)(96 + l);
                }
                cout << endl;
                l = 1;
        }
        cout << endl;
}

// output
