If you are new to programming, and taking a beginning class, then you
may not have gotten into arrays yet.
Oh, good point. I forget what its like to be a beginner sometimes :)
If this is the case, an alternate, much messier, method of
accomplishing this objective would be simply printing strings.
I'd try basically the same approach as Mike and Jake suggested, start
by using something like
cout << "MMMMMMMMMM DDDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSSS" << endl;
you will nead to adjust the number of letters and number of cout
statements to get a block of letters the size you want. Then, begin
replacing letters with spaces inside the strings to begin forming the
shape of the larger letter.
You could just have :
cout << "DDDDDDDDD " << endl;
cout << "DDDDDDDDDDD " << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDDDDDD " << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDDDDD " << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDDDD" << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDD" << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDD" << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDDDD" << endl;
cout << "DDD DDDDDDD " << endl;
for a weird looking D. Then once you have it printing out like that,
work out how to use a for loop to spit out the same pattern :)
I can't remember how soon I was introduced to arrays when I started to
learn programming (you never really stop), i am sure it wasn't that late
though....
How beginner are you anyway? Like a total n00b who has never written
anything apart from "hello world"?
