Did you rephrase the original requirement ?
If so, give us the original requirement, and show your work so far.

I don't understand the question either. Either you left out some information or it is poorly worded. I'm guessing that there is an example (an array) that is supposed to produce the output that you've shown.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

If you don't understand the question, then you need to discuss that with your tutor: we have no access to the array you mention, or any idea what rules the pattern is supposed to follow as a result.

Solution 2

Count the number of stars on each line. Now work out how you can automate that with one or more loops

Solution 4

I didn't understand the first part of the question. But I can solve the pattern printing using loops as follows:

int i = 1, j = 2, k = 1;

while (k <= 3) {
    for (int x = 0; x < i; x++) {
        if (x==(i-1)){
            for (int y = 0; y < j; y++) {
                printf("* ");
            }
        }
        else{
            printf("*");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    i += 3;
    j += 2;
    k++;
}

Doing someone's homework for them is never a good idea.

Especially not 13 months after they were due to hand it in.

And even more especially not when the answer you're posting is for a completely different question! 🤦‍♂️

Stick to answering new questions, and make sure you understand the question fully before answering.
