"blind" programming [challenge]

Here's a stupid idea.

You know things like "print this pattern:

*
***
*****
*******
*********

can be done wiht any dumb challenges like this..

try to solve it by writing the program into this thread - NO TESTING! Then try it out.

#include <stdio.h>

int
main(void)
{
int i, j;

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < 2 * i + 1; j++) {
fputc('*', stdout);
}
fputc('\n', stdout);
}

return (fclose(stdout) < 0);
}

Here's my go at the pyramid. No idea why people complicated this so much.

``
#include <stdio.h>

#define HEIGHT 5

int
main(void)
{
int i, j;

for (i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {
for (j = HEIGHT - i; j; j--) {
fputc(' ', stdout);
}
for (j = 0; j < 2 * i + 1; j++) {
fputc('*', stdout);
}
fputc('\n', stdout);
}

return (fclose(stdout) < 0);
}
``
