Struggling with Mario (less comfortable) loop conditions

Nesting loops to a level of three makes little sense for iterating 2D structures. I think you have to move your innermost loop out, directly in front of the loop it's currently in, so that you have ...

Can anyone please help with mario less comfortable?

Simply put, the code doesn't compile, so none of the other tests can be done by check50. Did you actually compile your code and run it first, or did you go straight to check50? The code needs to ...

A problem with my code in PSET 1 Mario less comfortable

The problem is in your nested for loop. It prints a space all the way up until i + j <= n - 1. Once this is no longer true, your program exits the loop. Let's look at this in a little more detail: ...

Stumped on PSET 1 Mario Less Comfortable

Looks like you have an extra for loop there, which will cause the entire thing to loop l times when that's probably not what you intended.

how can i get for it reprompt if the user types negative integer or number more 8 . my code does the oppoiste of what i want it to do how do reprompt

Think negatively! Look at the test that the code is doing: while(n <= 8 && n >= 1 ) This checks that n is in the range that is valid. You want the loop to repeat if it isn't in the ...
