for loop--check my sample program

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:13:42 -0700

this is the for loop output. i'm still figuring out if i'm going to use function call in this type of problem.. do you have any idea with regards to this problem? MY sample program here was to long, i think there is an easy way to cope it shorter..

i started it with this,

#inlcude<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i,j;
for(i=1;i<=3;i++)
  { for( j=0; j<i; j++)
       {printf("*");
         printf("\n");
        }
for(i=2; i<=4; i++)
  {for(j=0;j<i;j++)
        {printf("*");
         printf("\n);
        }
for(i=3; i<=5; i++)
  {for(j=0;j<i;j++)
        {printf("*");
         printf("\n);
        }
for(i=4; i<=5; i++)
  {for(j=0;j<i;j++)
        {printf("*");
         printf("\n);
        }
for(i=5; i<=6; i++)
  {for(j=0;j<i;j++)
        {printf("*");
         printf("\n);
        }
return 0;
}

THIS IS THE OUTPUT:

Here is some "pseudo code" to give some hints (ie code that is nonsense syntax-wise but correct algorithm-wise):

stars=1;

for(i=0; i<rows; i++)
{
  for(j=0; j<line_width; j++)
  {
    print [line_width - stars] spaces
    print [stars] stars
    stars++;
  }

  for(j=line_width; j>0; j--)
  {
    /* do the reverse */
  }
}

ok...
is there any form that is more simple and common to my program?
i'm not familiar with psuedo code.. tanx
