Diamond Outline using loops and putting desired size..

[loki09]

Is basically my homework.. I know that You have to do it yourself but please provide me starting codes... will i use increments?.. my prof said to use loops... and you have to input an amount for "*" that will be printed when compiled.. T.T

i had this in mined though..

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{
clrscr();
int a;
int b;
int c;
int d;
cout<<"Enter a value for diamond size: ";
cin>>a,b,c,d;
do
{

}
while(
getch();
return 0;
}

i dunno what to put in the do statement.. and my prof says to put increment.. O.o he didnt even teach about float or increment stuff.. please help.. what should i think about first or what step?..

Your professor shouldn't be teaching you to use conio.h, but it doesn't surprise me.

by increment he means 2 for loops how about you replace the above code with this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int size;

   cout << "Enter diamond size";
   cin >> size;

   for ( int i=0; i<size; i++ )
   {
      for ( int j=0; j<size; j++)
      {
         // put stuff in here
      }
   }
   return 0;
}
