c# - Print ASCII of a trangle shape with varable input -

struggling print. know should 2 loops print out repeated letters, however, having problems indent lines. should simple console c# program print out shape below input 3.

xxxxx  xxx   x 

with input 4 should like

xxxxxxx  xxxxx   xxx    x 

here code. 2 loops letters correctly lines lined @ left, not center.

 static void main(string[] args)     {         string num = console.readline().trim();         int n = convert.toint32(num);         int k=1;         for(int = n; i>=1; i--)         {              console.writeline("\n");             console.writeline("".padleft(n));             (int j = (2*i-1); j>=1;j--)             {                                        console.write("0");             }         }         console.read();     } 

the statement:

console.writeline("".padleft(n)); 

is right idea it's not quite there.

in case, n number of lines wish print , invariant. number of spaces need @ start of each line should begin @ 0 , increase 1 each line.

in case, printing any number of spaces followed newline (because it's writeline) not want, should using write instead.

so code between int n = convert.toint32(num); , console.read(); better off like:

for (int linenum = 0; linenum < n; linenum++) {     int spacecount = linenum;     int xcount = (n - linenum) * 2 - 1;      console.write("".padleft(spacecount));     console.writeline("".padleft(xcount, 'x')); } 

you'll notice other changes there. first, i've used more meaningful variable names, i'm bit of stickler - using i okay in circumstances find it's more readable use descriptive names.

i've used padleft x string well, remove need inner loop.
