This week's code snippet, Baklava in Yoix, is brought to you by Subete and the Sample Programs repo.
import yoix.stdio.putchar;
import yoix.math.abs;
printRepeat(int c, int count) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
putchar(c);
}
}
int i;
for (i = -10; i <= 10; i++) {
int numSpaces = abs(i);
int numStars = 21 - 2 * numSpaces;
printRepeat(' ', numSpaces);
printRepeat('*', numStars);
putchar('\n');
}
