how wud you write a code that wud convert a string of any input into a cool X formation
for example if you had a string "names" how would you write it in the formation:
[I]n n
a a
m
e e
s s[/I]Or for example if you had something like "places" would appear as:
p p
l l
ac
ac
e e
s s
And what have you tried?
Do not forget the CODE-tags.
I do not get your second example. I coded the thing and this is what my program managed to produce from the two words.
n n
a a
m
e e
s s
p p
l l
a a
c
e e
s s
Coding this is easiest for me at least by prove and fix, first before middle loop, then printing middle, lastly bottom half.
I used a for loop just for a little variety. And I would also think it should be (but that is just my opinion)
p p
l l
aa <-- not reversed
cc <-- reversed
e e
s swell my thought was to use an if statement to check whether it has an odd or even number of letters something like:
if (len(string)%2==0):and then do the loop for the even numbered string
I used a for loop just for a little variety. And I would also think it should be (but that is just my opinion)
p p l l aa <-- not reversed cc <-- reversed e e s s
is your code generalised or does it nly work with that word
I did generalized version, but it is not in one loop but in three phases above, center and down.
n n
a a
m
e e
s s
p p
l l
aa
cc
e e
s s
P P
y y
t t
h h
o o
n n
l l
a a
n n
g g
uu
aa
g g
e e
R R
O O
C C
K K
S S
