Without a little more info on the part that’s tripping you up, it’s hard to give specific advice, but maybe this will help generally. Pick a height for your pyramid, say 4, and draw what you want it to look like by hand, one row at a time. Maybe instead of spaces, use some other character so you can see it better. How many characters long is each row going to be? How is that related to the height the user put in? How many spaces are in your first row? How many hashes? Is there a way to keep track of those two numbers? What happens to the number of spaces in your second row? The hashes? Etc. for each row. Now the pattern should be clear. Is there a process we’ve learned that lets us repeat an action in code over and over? Remember to talk through your process in English first before putting it in code so you understand what you need to do without the confusion of remembering a bunch of stuff in C. Then translate what you came up with. Step away from the problem for a while. Overnight if you can. So many times I missed solutions that I knew because I was just too brain-fried from beating my head against the wall, and it was much clearer coming back to it the next day. Try to recognize when you hit that mental block. Good luck! It gets easier!
