String Streams

Hello everyone...

I have the following problem and i have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone help?

Write a procedure that takes a string as its parameter and which prints out a pattern made out of the string. For example, given the string "XMAS", it would output the following:

X
MM
AAA
SSSS

I am using C++ and compiler DevC++.

thanks

Hi,
You can write a function which takes the character to print and the position of the character and you can print the character that many number of times.

<code removed as per posting guidelines>

Since this is small part i have posted the code....if it against posting guidelines the sorry about that and please remove it.

To print this:

X
MM
AAA
SSSS

using an array just recognize that the number of times to display the character is the array element number + 1.

Just write an outer loop that counts from 0 to the end of the array

Then write an inner loops that runs from 0 to the count+1 of the outer loop. You display the character in this inner loop.

This code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

cout << text[i];

maybve should be

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

cout << text[y];

Here's what I did:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
char msg[] = "XMAS";

 for(int i =0; i < 4; ++i)

 {

     for(int j = 0; j <  i + 1;++j)

     {

          cout << msg[i];

     }

           cout <<endl;

 }

which is what I think you meant to do.

You might like to look under the Articles section for c/c++. I believ AdrianH has posted some tutorials how to make patterns from asterisks. I would imagine that would help you to get started, and give you an idea of how to create the pattern!

No, that was Savage.

And impedimenta - (vitalstatistix's wife, ->took me a while for the penny to drop on that one, though)

Not forgetting some of the people they encounter on their journeys.....to me that was (is?) one of the charms of the Asterix comics, trying to decipher what the names of the characters actually meant.....
