Nest loops

Gaz

Hi all,

Can some one help me with a very noob issue im having , I need to print a 2 dimentional array using a nested loop , that shoud look like >>

FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF

Ive compile the following >

for (r=1; r<10; r++)
{
printf("F\n");
for (s=1; s<6; s++)
{
printf("F");
but the output is appearing as

F
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFF

i understand why its appearing like that but cant figure out how to resolve.

Thanks guys

Just at a quick glance, could you not put the print with the line-break after the nested For loop?
EDIT: You also have to do something else but I'll leave that up to you to figure out :P

seamus

Why is there a printf("F\n") on Line 3?

[PHP]for (r=1; r<10; r++)
{
printf("F\n");
for (s=1; s<6; s++)
{
printf("F");[/PHP]

Yeah, as Seamus said, what is the first printf() call doing? I would also start the looping from zero unless you've a good reason to start at 1 as otherwise you might start running into array indexing issues.

ron_darrell

for (r=1; r<10; r++)
{
printf("F\n");
for (s=1; s<6; s++)
{
printf("F");

Repeat 9 times
Print "F" and a new line
Print "F" 5 times
End repeat

What's the result?

F
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFFF
FFFFF

Instead look at what you want to do

Repeat 9 times
Print "F" 6 times
Print a new line
End repeat

This will look like this:

for (r=0; r<9; r++)
{
for (s=0; s<6; s++)
{
printf("F");
}
printf("\n");
}

Always when coding; rather than just start coding; look at what you're trying to achieve. Break it down into small steps. Then code it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys .... I actually made some progress and had it similar to Rons solution, just had the braces in the wrong place. :rolleyes:

Thanks again

amen

you could it with just one for loop if you used a modulo with 6 and use that to print the \n
