Creating a Trapezoid using a character inputted by the user. (Console App)
I am trying to create a trapezoid using user inputted options. I know my code may not be the best way but so far it works! My problem is i 开发者_开发技巧need the base of the trapezoid to be touching the left side of the output window. What am i doing wrong?
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int topw, height, width, rowCount = 0, temp;
char fill;
cout << "Please type in the top width: ";
cin >> topw;
cout << "Please type in the height: ";
cin >> height;
cout << "Please type in the character: ";
cin >> fill;
width = topw + (2 * (height - 1));
cout<<setw(width);
for(int i = 0; i < topw;i++)
{
cout << fill;
}
cout << endl;
rowCount++;
width--;
temp = topw + 1;
while(rowCount < height)
{
cout<<setw(width);
for(int i = 0; i <= temp; i++)
{
cout << fill;
}
cout << endl;
rowCount++;
width--;
temp = temp +2;
}
}
setw sets the width for the next operation, not the entire line. So, the width of a single cout << fill is set to the value. This is giving you the padding, but you need to set setw to 0 for the final row.
also, there seems to be some redundant code try:
int main()
{
int topw, height, width, rowCount = 0, temp;
char fill;
cout << "Please type in the top width: ";
cin >> topw;
cout << "Please type in the height: ";
cin >> height;
cout << "Please type in the character: ";
cin >> fill;
width = height;
cout<<setw(width);
temp = topw;
while(rowCount < height)
{
cout<<setw(width);
for(int i = 0; i < temp; i++)
{
cout << fill;
}
cout << endl;
rowCount++;
width--;
temp = temp +2;
}
}
