I am stuck at converting the integer input I get from the user into spaces/hashes. How to use this integer with my printf() function to print spaces/hashes?

  • I highly recommend you use your own brains for that, otherwise, it destroys the whole purpose of a problem set!

There are many ways to solve this problem(mario.c). I don't want to spoil your work by providing an exact answer, but for your question how you translate this "number" that I can printf into an actual number of spaces and hash signs, may be this could help.

If variable no_spaces holds the number of spaces, then

int i;
for (i = 0 ; i <= height+1 ; ++i)
{
    if (i <= no_spaces)
        printf(" ");
    else
        printf("#"); 
}

Remember that this code is itself insufficient to solve the problem, you need an outer loop that changes the value of no_spaces. Think of it. Good luck.

If you use printf(" ") and printf("#") they will print one after another, when you need to go to the next line, just printf("\n")
