Hi guys,

I need some help from you using C++.

The problem is.....

to print '*'s. Accept from the user the no. of columns........

for eg: The user enters 5. I need to display...

*
***
*****

If you observe this........there are 5 columns..........b'cos I entered 5. If the user enters 9, then I need to display these '*'s in 9 cols.....

Hope you guys understood.

I need this........PLEASE..

Hi Amani,

Not sure this is exactly what you are after, but its a start

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{

int n = 0;

do
{
cout << "Please enter a odd number!" ;
cin >> n;
if (n%2==0)cout << "You have entered a even number! Please try again." <<"\n";
else cout <<"\n" << "Thanks you.." << "\n\n";
}
while (n%2==0);

for (int i=1;i <= n;i++)
{
for (int y=1, int z=n;y <= i && z >= i ;y++,z--)cout << "*" ;
cout << "\n";
}

return 0;

}
