Ehow can i make it so the error at the bottom doesnt happen?
Cthey only exist within their for loops, u would have to declare them outside and before.
so something like
so something like
Cbut what do u try to achieve here? will be the same value as and same as
because that if/else is after all the loop iterations are done
because that if/else is after all the loop iterations are done
Ei get this then ;-;
E
Ethis is the assignement i was given
Cyeah, because now u try to declare it twice (once at the top and once in the loop), so in the loop u do not have to declare them any more
declaration in loop:
declaration outside of the loop
declaration in loop:
declaration outside of the loop
Ehow would i change the for loop to not declare it inside?
EOHHH
Ewait a sec
Eahh
Ei then get this?
Caah, yes, thats because the compiler isnt smart enough to know that the outer for loop will run at least once, so it doesnt see that would have happened
Eah because its a nested loop?
Cyep
Ehow do i make it so it works then? ;-;
Cinstead of just u could initialize it with
Eoooo ok that runs without any errors which is good, however it doesnt make the red and yellow pattern
Eoh here at the end
Chm, hard to explain without spoonfeeding the answer
Cso basically ur code is executed sequentially from top to bottem right?
(the for loops repeat a couple steps ofc)
(the for loops repeat a couple steps ofc)
Eyeah
Cand with the for loops u print the rectangle, right?
Eyeah?
Edo i put it in the for loop?
Cyep
Eooooooooooooo i see!
Cthats also the only reason why u had the CS0103 errors
Ei see
Cso basically u can reverse ur code to declaring the variables in the loops again because u only need them in there
Eok that makes perfect sense
Eyou're a lifesaver, thanks again 
Cglad i could help o7
Cand one last tip, regarding the code when u declared and outside of the loops:
its good practice to declare them close to where u use them, so in that case that would have been directly above for loops
its good practice to declare them close to where u use them, so in that case that would have been directly above for loops
Eooo that makes sense, just to make it easier to read and stuff
Cyeah, because its one semantic block
Eyeah gotcha!
