Hey guys.
I am making a simple console canender program for an exercise from a book, and it is going ok so far but I am having trouble with the spacing of it.
I have made a simple function that creates on day block like a normal calender would have, and then in main called this 30 times to print the calender out. I tried using a nested for loop as I would with arrays to create the boxes acorss the screen but they seem to only appear down the side of the screen when I run it.
It is quite a simple problem I am sure of it, can you see what I am doing wrong?
#include <iostream>
// function prototypes
void printBlock ( int );
// main function - driver /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
int main ( void ) {
for ( int i = 0; i < 1; i++ ) {
for ( int j = 1; j <= 30; j++ ) {
printBlock ( j );
if ( j % 7 == 0 ) {
std::cout << "\n";
}
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
// function to print a single block of the calender
void printBlock ( int x ) {
for ( int i = 1; i <= 7; i++ ) {
std::cout << "*";
}
std::cout << "\n";
for ( int i = 1; i <= 7 -2; i++ ) {
std::cout << "*";
for ( int j = 1; j <= 7 -2; j++ ) {
std::cout << " ";
}
std::cout << "*\n";
}
for ( int i = 1; i <= 7; i++ ) {
std::cout << "*";
}
}
