hey guys, im having problem converting this to a while loop.

   int lineB;
        int starB;
        for(lineB=1; lineB<=10;lineB++)
        {
            for(starB=10; starB>=lineB; starB--)
                System.out.print("*");
            System.out.println();
        }
        System.out.println();

Can it be written like this?

int lineB=1;
int starB=1;
while(lineB<=10)
{
    while(starB>=lineB)
    {
     StarB--;
     System.out.print("*");
     System.out.println(); 
     }
   lineB++;
}

java

Did you test both the coding? If the result for both coding are the same, then there should not be any problem in the conversion.

you should have

int starB=10;

inside the outer while loop

And the last System.out.println(); outside of the second while loop

convert for loop to a while loop
for count= 1 to 50
display count
End for

while (notPayingAttentionToTheRules) {
  ignore();
}

Start a new thread if you have a question. Show some effort if you would like assistance.

number = 10;
sum = 0;
for (var i=1; i<= number; i++) {
sum = sum + number;
}
document.write("sum = " + sum);

number = 10;
for (var i=number; i > 0; i--) {
if ( i%2 == 1)
document.write(i);
}

product = 1;
number = 5;
for (var i=1; i < (number+1); i++) {
product = product * number;
}
document.write(product);

for ( var i=1; i<= 5; i++) {
for (var j=1; j<=3; j++) {
document.write("*");
}
document.write("<br />");
}

First of all this is a 11 month-old thread.
Second, do you understand why what you have written is wrong? Also the OP has already figured out his problem. You hardly made any contribution

int lineB=1;
int starB=1;
while(lineB<=10)
{
starB=10;
while(starB>=lineB)
{
starB--;
System.out.print("*");
System.out.println();
}
lineB++;
}
dis is the corrected code!!!!!!

Also the guy was trying to cheat at an online exam. If you look at a recent post he says: "I want the solution within 30 minutes or I will fail".

Meaning that despite your good heart, you shouldn't post the solution, because this is against the forum rules. We do not give ready solutions just because someone has asked for it.
We only help those that show an effort; we don't hand in their homework.

Keep trying to help people and don't let this thread get you down

Java and Javascript are not the same thing.

A request to the moderators please lock this thread as I doubt anything related to original post is bound to be added here anymore and for no reason at all is being brought on the first page repeatedly.
