that messed up the image but its basically a axe made with stars. Your using loops and stuff, a user enters an integer and it makes it that wide and long

[TheGamingPryde]

heres the sides for the axe
int n, c, k;

printf("Enter number of rows: ");
scanf("%d",&n);

for ( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++)
{
for ( k = 1 ; k <= c ; k++ )
printf("*");

printf("\n");
}

for ( c = n - 2 ; c >= 0 ; c-- )
{
for ( k = c ; k >= 0 ; k-- )
printf("*");

printf("\n");
}
and than it needs a handle in the middle

Please explain (preferably with the aid of sample output) what you mean by: "and than it needs a handle in the middle".

that triangle is what on both sides of the handle

Thats the handle. Than the triangle above goes on both sides of the triangle but flipped on 1 side

The user enters an integer and the triangles become that big. The axe handle is always going to be 10 rows long.
