k. i haf this program that requires me to draw a diamond wit "*". for example, if user enters 3, i should print: ___* __*** _***** __*** ___* if 4, then: ____* ___*** __***** _******* __***** ___*** ____* ***Scratch out underscores*** i started wit a flowchart that was too complicated - i'll try putting my flowchart up: input: size process: star = 1 process: starcount = 1 process: size = size * 2 -1 loop process: count = 1 process: space = (size - count) div 2 loop output: " ".. decision: exit when count = space process: count := count +1 end loop count :=1 loop put "*".. exit when starcount = star starcount := starcount +1 end loop star := star +2 loop put " ".. exit when count = space count := count + 1 end loop put " " exit when star = size end loop *** i tried doin' this by splitting it into sections, this is the top half but i dunno how to connect and i'm not sure if the above works. please reply. thanks. |
