Turn VERTICAL letters HORIZONTAL (for loop problem)

wjohnson (3)
Hi everyone!

Well, this is what I have, I wrote the code using arrays to form the over-sized letters, but they display vertically when I want them to display horizontally.

                 }          
                 cout<<endl;   
    system ("pause"); //leaves window up
    return 0; //End of main function
}




When compiled, this gives all the letters as I mean them to look, but descending vertically. For the assignment, I need them to display horizontally.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Well, with console output, you're pretty much stuck doing one line at a time unless you pull some terminal trick with some OS-specific libraries. So think about the problem as each mulit-line letter consisting of several rows of text.

You want to print the top row of W, then the top row of I, then the top row of L, and so forth until you print the top row of N.

After you print the top row of N, you then want to start printing the next row of each multi-line letter. I suggest outputting an 'endl' so you start on a new line.

The good news? You can accomplish this with a single loop.

Replace all of you for loops with the following.

1
2
 
for(int r=0; r<7; r++)
  cout << W[r] << " " << I[r] << " " << L[r] << " " << L[r] << " " << J[r] << " " << O[r] << " " << H[r] << " " << N[r] << " " << S[r] << " " << O[r] << " " << N[r] << endl;

Thanks everyone. The necessary steps were:

exchange my 'for' loops for one overarching 'for' loop
AND
change the width of my output window (properties>layout>width)

If you don't want to fiddle with your output console, you could put it in a file and check the output in your favorite text editor.
