pyramid loop in mario does not execute

Question

My prompt and validation works already. The program compiled. But when I run it and enter a valid height, it does nothing. It seems like my loops don't execute. Now I have changed a few things to improve but get the compilation error that my counter i is undefined even though I declare it in the for statement. And since the number of spaces I need is defined by the counted, spaces does not get declared either. What is wrong? Here is that part of the code

for (int i=0;i==height; i++)

    /* final number of spaces and hashs to target */
    int spaces=i;
    int hashs=height -i;
        {
          for (int j=0;j==spaces;j++)
            {    printf(" "); }
        for (int k=0;k==hashs;k++)   
             {  printf("#");    }
            printf("#\n");
        }

Your for loop won't run because of your condition statement.

So within your for loop, initialising i to 0 (with int i = 0)is setting a counter for your loop.

On each iteration of the loop, 'i' will increase by one (By using i++)

The middle part of your for loop is a test condition; the loop will run while this condition is true. In your case your test condition is 'i == height', which is saying 'while i is equal to height' run the loop, however i is 0, and therefore not equal to height so will not run.
