Inspiration

I want to learn C++

What it does

Prints a shape

How I built it

with C++

Challenges I ran into

I just started C++ this week

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It works

What I learned

variables, for loops, if statements

What's next for select a shape

Add more shapes to select

include

using namespace std;

char decide(); void makePyramid(char p); void makeSquare(char s);

int main() { char shape;

shape = decide();
makePyramid(shape);
makeSquare(shape);


return 0;

}

char decide() { char shape; cout << "Please select a shape to print" << endl; cout << "Press p for pyramid or s for square. " << endl; cin >> shape; return shape; }

void makePyramid(char shapeSelect) {

if (shapeSelect == 'p')
{
int space, rows;

cout <<"Enter number of rows: ";
cin >> rows;

for(int i = 1, k = 0; i <= rows; ++i, k = 0)
{
    for(space = 1; space <= rows-i; ++space)
    {
        cout <<"  ";
    }

    while(k != 2*i-1)
    {
        cout << "* ";
        ++k;
    }
    cout << endl;
}    
} 

}

void makeSquare(char shapeSelect) { if(shapeSelect == 's') { int space, rows; cout << "Enter number of rows: " << endl; cin >> rows;

    for(int i = 0; i < rows; i++) //up and down
    {

        for(int j = 0; j < rows; j++) // right and left
        {
            cout << "#";
        }

    cout << endl;
    }
}

}
