How to print out hashes in mario(less comfortable)? (2019)

Question

Ok so this is my code I have right now:

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int get_positive_int(string prompt);
int main(void)
{
int i = get_positive_int("Height: ");
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
   printf("#");
   printf("\n");
}
}
// Ask for integer between 1 and 8
int get_positive_int(string prompt)
{
int n;
do
{
    n = get_int("%s", prompt);
}
while (n > 8 || n <= 0);
return n;    
}

It prints out this:

Can someone please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

You assign the height to variable i, and on the next line you overwrite it with 0, throwing away the user input. Make the row counter a different variable, and name your variables according to their meaning, especially if they are used at any point outside of the loop head, and both height and likely also the row counter (or whatever you want to call it) are.

For multiple hashes in a row, you would place another loop inside your existing for loop, repeating as often as you need to print a hash in the current row (same for the leading spaces).
