If you wanted: * * * * * * .* * * * * * * * * * * * .* * * * * * * * * * * * .* * * * * * * * * * * * .* * * * * * (btw, I put the period in 'cause the web browser didn't register the space in front of the even lines. So think of the period as a space.) then this code will work.
I use the "mod" thing to get the remainder of "count" so I can alternate between putting " *" and " *" on the rows. Because if the row is odd, I'll get a remainder of 1 and if the row is even then I'll get 0. I had to add the extra "*" on the odd rows 'cause there was still space for one to fit an asterix but not the extra space. That's also why it repeats only 39 times.[/code] |
