I'm trying to make a out of '*' and I got the code right because it works in the console but when I try to print it in the html document it does not work
function Pyramid() {
let rows = 9;
let output = '';
for (let i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
for (let j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
output += '* ';
}
console.log(output);
return output;
output = '';
}
}
document.getElementById('pyramid').textContent = generatePyramid();
<body>
<div id="pyramid"></div>
<script src="../script.js/script.js"></script>
</body>
Try this
document.getElementById("pyramid").innerHTML='generatePyramid()';
Okay, so there are a few minor issues here.
Pyramid but you are calling generatePyramid.return output is within the for loop.console.log which will give you a row in the console... however for the HTML you are just dumping it all so it would be a continuous row of stars instead of one row at a time.In the code below I've fixed these issues and made it so it outputs each row in a <p>. There are numerous ways to achieve this result and improve upon it, but I think this is what you were aiming for.
function generatePyramid() {
let rows = 9;
let output = "";
for (let i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
output += "<p>";
for (let j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
output += "* ";
}
output += "</p>";
}
return output;
}
document.getElementById("pyramid").innerHTML = generatePyramid();
