Question

“7. Half-pine tree. Request the height. See below for an image. This tree is made up of multiple branches. Each row in a branch increases by 1. Each branch has height 4, and each branch starts at one location more horizontally than the previous branch.

ex:

Welcome to Picture Maker!

Which shape should I draw?7

My current c++ code is below:

case 7:
cout<<"height?";
cin>>height;
for(i=1; i<=height; i++){
for(j = 1; j<=(i % 5)+ (i / 5); j++){
cout"*";
}
cout<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
break;

As you know it is not working properly. I dont know what went wrong. please fix it, thank you very much.

Explanation / Answer

/*C++ test program that prints pine tree of height and each
branch of size=4.
Note : The loops conitnues for each height value a brance of 4
so there would 4*height lines.
*/
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

   int height=5;
   const int BRANCH_HEIGHT=4;
   char ch='*';
   int add=0;
  
   for(int index=1;index<=height;index++)
   {      
       int j;
       //print branch height
       for(j=1;j<=BRANCH_HEIGHT;j++)
       {                  
           //Add for each next branch from j+add starts
           for(int m=1;m<=(j+add);m++)
               cout<<ch;      

           cout<<endl;
       }

       //Check if new branch is to started
       if((j-1)%BRANCH_HEIGHT==0)
       {
           //increment add=add+1
           add++;
           //set j=1
           j=1;          
       }          
   }

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

use code for case 7:

case 7:
cout<<"height?";
cin>>height;
   const int BRANCH_HEIGHT=4;
   char ch='*';
   int add=0;
  
   for(int index=1;index<=height;index++)
   {      
       int j;
       //print branch height
       for(j=1;j<=BRANCH_HEIGHT;j++)
       {                  
           //Add for each next branch from j+add starts
           for(int m=1;m<=(j+add);m++)
               cout<<ch;      

           cout<<endl;
       }

       //Check if new branch is to started
       if((j-1)%BRANCH_HEIGHT==0)
       {
           //increment add=add+1
           add++;
           //set j=1
           j=1;          
       }          
   }
