How to Create a Pyramid in C++?

[jacy]

Hello,
I am trying to print an equilateral triangle, made up of * (stars), of height 8. Can someone please give me some hint. I am not getting the desired output. Thank you. Here is my code.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
void main()
{
  int n=8;


	 for (int row=1; row<=8; row++)
	 {
		  for (int col=0; col<row; col++)
		  {

				cout<<setw(n=n-1)<< '*';

		  }
		  cout << endl;  // end the line.
	 }

}

ew c++ io commands, can't remmeber what the setw command does so it may be best for you to post the errored output you got
...and just printing stars you won't get a real equilateral triangle so I'm guessing your looking for 8 stars each edge.

also are you filling the triangle?

and you can use n-- rather then n=n-1...doesn'treallly matter but n-- looks nicer.

my best guess though is your forgetting to print spaces.

Hello,

Please show us exactly what this triangle is supposed to look like, by literally typing it out inside a (code)(/code) block. (square brackets instead of parentheses, of course).

#include<iostream.h>

  int n=8;

	 cout<<"45,90,45 degree triangle"<<endl;
	 for (int y=1; y<=8; y++)
	 {
		for(int space=8-y; space>0; space--)
		{
			cout<<" ";
 		}	
		for (int x=0; x<y; x++)
		{
			cout<<"**";
		}		 
		cout << endl;  // end the line.
	}

	cout<<endl<<"circle"<<endl;
	for (double y=-10; y<=10; y++)
	{
		for (double x=-10; x<=10; x++)
		{
			if(x*x+y*y<=100)
				cout<<"*";
			else
				cout<<" ";
		}		
		cout << endl;  // end the line.
	}

	cout<<endl<<"Equilateral Triangle"<<endl;
	for (double y=7*sqrt(3); y>=0; y--)
	{
		for (double x=-7; x<=7; x++)
		{
		if(x==0)
			cout<<"*";
		else if(x<0&&y/(x+7)<=sqrt(3))
			cout<<"*";
		else if(x>0&&y/(7-x)<=sqrt(3))
			cout<<"*";
		else
			cout<<" ";
		}		
		cout << endl;  // end the line.
	}
	system("PAUSE");
}

something wrong

when i tried to run the programm it had some problems.this is how i change it but it works

#include<iostream.h>
#include <cmath>//the first change
int main()
{
int n=8;


cout<<"45,90,45 degree triangle"<<endl;
for (int y=1; y<=8; y++)
{
for(int space=8-y; space>0; space--)
{
cout<<" ";
}
for (int x=0; x<y; x++)
{
cout<<"**";
}
cout << endl; // end the line.
}

cout<<endl<<"circle"<<endl;
for ( y=-10; y<=10; y++)//second change
{
for (double x=-10; x<=10; x++)
{
if(x*x+y*y<=100)
cout<<"*";
else
cout<<" ";
}
cout << endl; // end the line.
}

cout<<endl<<"Equilateral Triangle"<<endl;
for (y=7*sqrt(3); y>=0; y--)//third change
{
for (double x=-7; x<=7; x++)
{
if(x==0)
cout<<"*";
else if(x<0&&y/(x+7)<=sqrt(3))
cout<<"*";
else if(x>0&&y/(7-x)<=sqrt(3))
cout<<"*";
else
cout<<" ";
}
cout << endl; // end the line.
}

return 0;//fourth change

}
