Pyramid of Asterix

[Vivid Lust]

How can i make a pyramid of asterix with 41 stars in the last row????

 

so like:

 

        *

      ***

    *****

  *******

etc

 

Thanks for the help.

lol, reminds of the times i was in class and had to do this horrible job in Java, VB.NET, C++, bweh :S

 

for ($i = 1; $i <= 41; $i++) {
   for ($j = 0; $j < $i; $j++) {
       echo '*';
   }
   echo '<br />';
}

 

this will give you something like:

 

*

**

***

..

 

to get something like this:

 

      *

      **

    ***

 

you will most presumably need a table, as in php you don't have something like:

 

drawer.pos(x, y)

Thanks lol, heres this question where i had to do it in pascal, i had a while loop with the count going up by 2 each time and i had no idea how to print a line with that many asterix xd so i though php would give me an idea.

I find it's easier just to do it manually

for ($x = 0; $x < 21; $x++)
{
    $spacer = str_repeat(" ", (21 - $x));
    $stars = str_repeat("*", ($x*2)+1);
    print $spacer . $stars . $spacer . "\n";
}

 

 

Lol... you'd need to use a fixed sized font for it to display, and if it's for a webpage - perhaps use   instead of a space!

I had to do this in Java.
