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

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

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

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(">");
}

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

		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(">");
			}
		}
