creating pattern

Hi, how to create a diagonal pattern by the given function

void diagonal(int size, char op)

The function takes in 2 arguments, size and op and displays a diagonal line of op char. for example, diagonal (5,#) will produce the following output.

use nested for loop

@wwwiii:

Why would you need a nested for loop?

@j2013:

Simply create a string and, for each iteration, append a space to it within a for loop. Here's an example:

void diagonal(int size, char op)
{
	std::string spaceCount = "";
	
	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		std::cout << spaceCount << op << std::endl;
		spaceCount.append(" ");
	}
}

You'll need to include the <string> header to output strings to the console.

Sorry, it doesn't print diagonal

You obviously messed something up.

It works perfectly fine for me.
