Today May 6, 2003  I asked a question about solving a
FOR LOOP design that resulted in this ****.  What I'm
confused about is the inner loop      ***  test
expression:                           **
--------------------                  *

for ( int i = 0; i < 4; i++ )
{
    for ( int j = 0; j < 4 - 1; j++ )
         cout << '*';
             cout << endl;

____________________

     If 4 - 1 how is the first line going to be   **** ?
If you would please email me directly that would be nice,
if not it's ok, but I ask if I could email you back for
any further questions.   Thank you.

I'm assuming that the inner loop should be
     for ( int j = 0; j < 4 - i; j++ )
which means
    4 - i and not 4 - 1

If you fix this then it is going to work as you expect.
