hints for a problem

[Deenet]

I need halp solving codng a simple program in C. The program has do be exclusively nested loops with the following inputs.
0
01
012
0123
01234
0123
012
01
0
I am looking for suggestions and ideas, not for someone to do my homework for me. I was able to do this using a for loop with nested if statements. But i need to do it with nested loops.

Thanks!

What I meant was I need to have the following OUTPUT:
0
01
012
0123
01234
0123
012
01
0

Thanks!

Some pseudo code:

valueA = 0
limit = 5
while (valueA < limit)
   valueB = 0
   while (valueB <= valueA)
      print valueB
      valueB = valueB +1
   valueA = valueA +1
   print <cr>

This takes care of the first part ie:
0
01
012
0123
01234

It's almost the same idear in the remaining part.
I'll be back tomorrow morning (atleast in my timezone) to post my solution






Edit:
I'm back, if you dont want to see the solution, then don't scroll past this line

A solution to this could be:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int count_outer, count_inner, limit;
  limit = 5;
  /* 
   * show the segment
   *
   * 0
   * 01
   * 012
   * 0123
   * 01234
   */
  for(count_outer = 0; count_outer < limit; count_outer++)
    {
      for (count_inner = 0; count_inner <= count_outer; count_inner++)
        {
          printf("%d", count_inner);
          fflush(stdout);
        }
      printf("\n");
      fflush(stdout);
    }
  --count_outer;
  /* 
   * show the segment
   *
   * 0123
   * 012
   * 01
   * 0
   */
  for( ; count_outer >= 0; --count_outer)
    {
      for(count_inner = 0; count_inner < count_outer; count_inner++)
        {
          printf("%d", count_inner);
          fflush(stdout);
        }
      printf("\n");
      fflush(stdout);
    }
  return 0;
}
