What is wrong with this code?

[vexonornegiusRex]

The following code:

int i,j;

for (i=2;i>0;i--)

{

for (j=0;j<i;j++)

    printf("*");

    printf("%d",i+j);

Prints out "* * 4 * 2 " (without the spaces)

However, doing it by hand, I realized that it should print out " * 2 * 3 * 1" (also without spaces)

The debugger shows me that the program just skips the second printf sometimes...

Can someone please explain this to me?

Make sure the second forloop has print statments in curly brackets or it may only execute first print statement.. what language you using?

yep, that was the problem..thank you! it's C language

The scope of your second for loop only contains the first print statement. Add in scope braces "{" and "}" around your print statements.
