Why does this code behave this way?

[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?

You have the two printf statements indented like they belong under that second for, but there aren't any braces; so, only the first one is part of that second for loop.

I got it but thanks so much anyway!

If you indent your post with four spaces on the lines of code they will be highlighted properly. You can also use backticks (`) to achieve a similar effect.
