What do you mean you have no idea? You know exactly what to do, just follow the steps, jesus.

This is what I have so far. I don't know if it's any good.

It is c++

not op and i have no background in programming but a little in bash scripting to make my linux desktop more cohesive
I can understand pretty much everything he is doing here but one thing that has always thrown me off about programming is shit like
cout.width
right
I mean cout is easy to understand, but how the shit am i supposed to know cout.width is even a thing, or "right", how am i supposed to know what that means or even that it exists?

This is why I hate programming. Yes, I understand that programers have made shorthand notation that is more efficient to use, but unlike a math course the notation is not taught in any rigorous or structured way. Many times intro classes will just bounce around randomly or skip teaching the fundamentals, and then expect you to understand how to use code for the exams. Then when you take a higher level course they expect you to have learned all the notation. I don't have time to teach myself to code when I'm majoring in physics and sitting in a three hour lecture each week on what a class does while somehow never being taught how to use it in practice. At least my math courses have example problems even if they aren't applicable to the practical world. How come my computer science class has minimal examples like wtf no wonder STEM students think CS majors are outcasts.

lol this wouldn't work.

Don't be so needlessly assaultive towards anon.
I'm fairly sure even you yourself don't truly feel good after saying treating someone that way.
>>7656543
yes it would.
Well I figured it out anyway faggots

width is a subclass of class cout. its not very hard to understand. Although if your used to higher level programming languages like python or javascript, it would defiant be an adjustment if you started learning java.

what was your code faggot

for(int h=0;h<n;h++){
for(int j=0;j<h;j++)
cout<<" ";
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
cout<<"*";
cout<<"\n";
}
Are you retarded

HE SAID NO FUCKING iomanip FUNCTIONS. I don't care if they are in iostream but he clearly doesn't want you to use anything the automatic fucks with the output stream.

Because you search and read the documentation when you need something:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ios/right/
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ios/ios_base/width/
Eventually you'll get a feel for when something is obvious/common enough that there is a function that already does what you want in the standard library.

you forgot to declare i,j,k and semicolons
