request for printing patterns with for loops tutorial

[Pete]

You are. String$() is engineered to only give one character and if you try an include more it just spits out the first character. There have been a few times I wished we had on keyword that could handle multiple characters.

Oh, and x-mas tree code...

Code: (Select All)

Locate 7

a$ = "*"

For i = 1 To 14

    If i > 10 Then a$ = "*"

    Locate , _Width \ 2 - Len(a$) \ 2 + 1

    Print a$

    a$ = a$ + "**"

Next
