can any one do this in a loop? (for loop)

Code :

---

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>
>>>
>>
>

---

or just like this

Code :

---

>>>>>
>>>>
>>>
>>
>

---

all of those you see are just a simple character '>' (greater than)

can anyone do this in a for loop?..
please im having some hard time thinking on how to diplay this...

Easy, just have a for loop count backwards. However, to do it in one for loop is kind of hard (though not impossible)

Code :

---

for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
     for (int j = i; j > 0; j--)
     {
          System.out.print(">");
     }
     System.out.println("");
}

---

Code :

---

int n = 10;
for(int i = (n*n+n)/2; i > 0; i--)
{
     if (i*2%(n*n+n)==0)
     {
          n--;
          System.out.print("\n>");
     }
     System.out.print(">");
}

i can understand the second code a little bit . but i cant resolve this problem 'ArithmeticException'
:confused:

oops... flawed logic :P I was only checking if something was divisible by (n^2+n)/2, not equal to it.

Code :

---

		int n = 10;
		for (int i = (n * n + n) / 2; i > 0; i--)
		{
			if (i == (n * n + n) / 2)
			{
				n--;
				System.out.print("\n>");
			}
			else
			{
				System.out.print(">");
			}
		}

you're really awesome when it comes in algorithms... lol :)) tnx !!

any way you said that this is possible in just one single for-loop...

hmm....:-? :-?
