But I have not been able to do it using only one nested loop. I have
done it with two nested for loops, but need help in using only a
single for loop. Any suggestions?

If you could work out how to print out:

1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1

using only a single for loop, you'd be well on your way.
lex




Yipppeeee... I got it...
The hardest part was working "...out how to print out 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 using only a single for loop"

Needed to go back to my highschool algerbra but it works...
If the OP ever responds, I'd be curious as to what the group thinks of my solution. I won't post it before the OP responds..
