C++ code to display filled isosceles triangle using for loop and asterisk character

, , , , , 9 comments
Write a program which draw isosceles Triangle Shape with asterisk(*) and using nested for loop
 Program required output:

display isosceles triangle using for loop and asterisk character




C++ Code:


#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

  int e=1;

  cout<<"\" Triangle Shape SHAPE \":\n\n";

  for(int a=1;a<=5;a++)
 {
    for(int b=4;b>=a;b--)
   {
    cout<<" ";  // Printing Space Here
   }
      for(int c=0;c<e;c++)
     {
       cout<<"*";  // Printing asterisk here
     }
      cout<<endl;   // new line
      e=e+2;
 }
}



Program Output:
sample output filled isosceles triangle asterisk character

These kind of programs are very helpful in the understanding of nested for loop.

    I use this code and the output is just a half triangle. Whatto do with that?

    so what does it mean e=e+2; in this example above and why cstart 0 and e starts 1

    for(int c=0;c<e;c++)
    {
    cout<<"*"; // Printing asterisk here
    }
    cout<<endl; // new line
    e=e+2;

      e increments by two (e=e+2) because if you notice, on line #1 there is one "*", then on line #2 there are 3 "*", then on line #3 there are 5 "*" and so on... (if you want to count the odds numbers, start at one and increment of 2 every time (1,3,5,7,9,...))

      c starts at 0 because there is step between 0 and 1 (e starts at one) and then one line #2, e = 3 and there is 3 steps between 0 and 3 and so on... So this is juste a way to always do the right amount of recursion loop.

      At this point, I would just recommand to you that you copy this code and use the debugger to see what each line does...

      Basically the loop using the int a and the int b are there to control the number of spaces and then the for(int c=0;c<e;c++) is there to control the amount of "*" that you need for each line

      because there are 5 lines, you know the last line is 9 times "*" (the 5th odd number is 9). so if you what to have an isoscele triangle,
      on line #1 : 4 spaces + 1 "*"
      on line #2 : 3 spaces + 3 "*"
      on line #3 : 2 spaces + 5 "*"
      on line #4 : 1 space + 7 "*"
      on line #5 : 0 space + 9 "*"

    /* This one ask the user how many lines he wants and print them in the console*/
    #include
    using namespace std;

    int main() {
    int e=1;
    int n;
    cout<< "How many lines ?" << endl;
    cin >> n;

    for(int a=1;a<=n;a++) {
    for(int b=(n-1);b>=a;b--) {
    cout<<" ";
    }
    for(int c=0;c<e;c++) {
    cout<<"*";
    }
    cout<<endl;
    e=e+2;
    }
    }
