How do I create the letter P in c


I'm having kinda of trouble. The code I wrote down below it's letter A, and i don't know how to cut on right side to get it to look like letter P. I know this is simple to some of you, but please I really need this help.

#include<stdio.h>
main(){
int rows,position,i,j;
do{
  printf("insert rows, it must be odd number:");
  scanf("%d",&rows);
}while(rows%2==0);
printf("Insert number of positions, it must be at least half of rows");
scanf("%d",&positions);
for(i=1;i<=rows;i++){
  for(j=1;j<=position;j++){
        if(i==1 || i==(rows/2)+1 || j==1 || j==positions){
printf("/ ");
        }
        else{
           printf("  ");
          }
       }
printf("\n");
}


example:
rows:13
positions:7

now goes print:
///////
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
///////
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /

What I need is this

///////
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
/     /
///////
/     
/     
/     
/     
/     
/     

Solution

  • In your if statement, change:

    j==positions
    

    to:

    (j==positions && i <= (rows/2)+1)
    

    That will block that column after i passes (rows/2)+1.
