using dev c++ and only using the codes if, for and printf

Answer 1

c++?? you mean using both?

Answer 2

Here is what I did in Python. I am not good with C++. But hopefully the readability of Python will give you an idea what to do in C++.
I'll see if I can do it correctly with C++, too.

Answer 3

lol like i said i can only use if, for and printf

Answer 4

Oh. I'll try that.

Answer 5

it's like
if(i<=3)
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
printf(.......)
}
else
{
for (i=3;i>0;i--)
printf(..............);
}

Answer 6

sry u got to use another for inside that for
like
for (j=0;j<=i;j++)
printf("*");

Answer 7

Updated my python code (I really don't mind if you find little benefit from my posting of this code, this is beneficial and fun!):
for star_num in range(1, 4): #added 1 because I don't want 0 stars
print "*" * star_num
if star_num == 3:
for star_num_reducer in range(1, 3):
print "*" * (3 - reducing_star_num) #don't think C++ can multiply characters

Answer 8
