help how to create this picture using for loop

[enchanted_bloom]

I really need help for this assignment. Can someone please help me and sent up the code for this assignment using for loop?
Write a program that will ask the user to enter any character on the keyboard. After reading in the users input, the program will clear the screen and then produce the output as seen below. You must use 2 for loops to get the pattern to appear properly on your screen.

Thank you very much, i need this ASAP because it is due like tomorrow..Thanks again

Ahh, I see you have yet to read the rules here, and we do not do your homework for you, we do help you old in that thought although. How about you start attempting at least then we can help you fix your code so you finish that assignment.

thanks...i didn't know..i tried various times..but it comes out weird..

Turing:

for counter:1..12     put " ":counter,num     for counter1:1..5         put num," ":counter1     end for end for

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

code:

[syntax="turing"]Code Here[/syntax]

"thanks, i didn't know" what the heck were you expecting? as syntax_error said, we DO NOT do your homework for you here, this is an easy problem, just ask your teacher for help, you're on the right track with nested for loops

don't be so harsh saltpro15

but he is right you know, enchanted_bloom...we DON'T do your programs for you

However, I don't mind pushing you in the right direction

Basically, you want to output "****" over and over again, where the first line has 1 space in front of it, the second line has 3 spaces in front of it, the third line has 5 spaces in front of it....you see where I am going with this ?

What do you have to use to repeat the pattern with 1, 3, 5, 7, etc...spaces in front of it? For loops!
So use it (one for outputting the pattern with 1, 3, 5, etc...spaces, and another for outputting it backwards, like 7, 5, 3, 1 spaces)

I hope this helped

TT.TT..forgive me..im a beginner and I am really desperate..the part i didn't get is how to use for loop for spacing on one line
because according to the thing it is supposed to be like this
for counter:1..5
put ?Hello?
put counter, ? ?
end for

but when i tried it on turing..it turned out different..

what is weird about it?

Can you draw the pattern on paper yourself? Try doing so, and write down decisions that you make about each step. It is much easier to turn a list of written instructions into code.

[saltpro15]

I don't want to sound like a total prick, sorry enchanted, although if you're really that desperate you could do it all with put statements if not, I recommend Tony's suggestion

[enchanted_bloom]

thanks for you guys's help...i'll try some more

[chopperdudes]

enchanted, look into the repeat command in turing. see some relationships between how much you need to repeat, and something else?

[A.J]

well, the repeat function could be used instead of the for loops (I guess)...but it would be better practice if you used the for loops instead (although 'repeat' would work too)

damn i wish i was in CS.

You could still learn the basics of programming. Turing is a free download with the link above and there are a lot of tutorials here.
