I've just run your program and what it actually prints is this: **** * * * * **** This isn't the same as what you said you wanted though TBH neither of these patterns looks much like a star to me! Unless you've been told otherwise I wouldn't bother trying to do this using loops - I'd just print the entire lines which is much easier: using System; class Stars { static void Main() { string[] lines = { XXXX X++X XXXX * * **** **** }; foreach(string line in lines) Console.WriteLine(line); } }
