(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am having a problem getting my "*" to increase as the lines increase. What would you recommend to do this? I'm new to VB and this is a HW question. Thanks for any advice!

use the value in TB1 as the size. Clear the ListBox. Draw a triangle of *’s in the ListBox with 1 * on the first line and each successive line having 1 more * than the line before up to a line with size number of *. Then it should go down until there is 1 *. There should be 2*size -1 number of lines and size number of * on the middle line. For example, a size 4 triangle would result in :

Your question and wording is very hard to understand :s

Sorry, ill try to re-explain it.
So if i put 4 into Textbox 1 and hit the button "Triangle" then my listbox will have
*
**
***
****
***
**
*

I am unsure of how to make my *'s increase and decrease accordingly.

    

 private void Add_Stars(int amtStars)

        {

            string[] stars = new string[amtStars];

            char astrik = '*';

            int count = 1;



            for (int i = 0; i < stars.Length; i++)

            {

                stars[i] = new string(astrik, count);

                count++;

                listBox1.Items.Add(stars[i]);

            }

          

I have to go to a wedding, just need code the "decreasing" part.

edit: quickly added a decreasing method but it doesn't add the last star has to do with != 0 i think lol :p

    

  for (int i = 0; i <= stars.Length; i++)

            {

                if(i == stars.Length)

                {

                    for(int j = i - 2; j != 0; j--)

                    {

                        listBox1.Items.Add(stars[j]);

                    }

                    break;

                }

                stars[i] = new string(astrik, count);

                count++;

                listBox1.Items.Add(stars[i]);

            }

          

Need to add a check to make sure the text enter is a number but you can do that as well.

    

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Add_Stars(Convert.ToInt16(textBox1.Text));

        }

why not just use the pre-mad text box function? If you go to your text box properties and you can add something to do with passwords Just set it to true then it turns into *'s or in my case circles with a flat theme

I dont thats what his assignment requires though

If I understood correct it needs to add * based on the number inputted but one on each line incrementing each time and once it reaches the number, go backwards.
