Visual difference between program and discord for example

[leaden fern]

I'm making my homework where i need to do a simple tree like pattern with "*", However when i open it it doesn't work, but when i copy the outcome, it looks correctly on discord,
It should look like on discord, but Im afraid that when i turn it in, they'll say its wrong or something
code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
double n;
cout << "Podaj n: ";
cin >> n;
for (double t = 1; t <= n; t++) {
for (double j = 1; j <= t; j++) {

        int spacja = n - j;        
        for (double s = 0; s < spacja; s++)
            cout << " ";
        for (double k = 0; k < j; k++)
            cout << "*";
        cout << "\n";
    }
}

}

as you can see it looks the same here in discord as in your program

[leaden fern]

yeah...

not sure why it looks like before you type it in

do you maybe know how make it symetrical then?

[unique cobalt]

yup, but it's your assignment

you have all the tools you need to finish this assignment 🙂

[leaden fern]

can you give me a hint at least?

[hasty glade]

The reason why it looked fine for you in discord is that the space symbol there is probably narrower than the *, while in the console they have the same width 😛

[leaden fern]

ohh

that solves one thing

[hasty glade]

Do you have a picture of how the tree should look?

[leaden fern]

yeah, one sec

I fixed it!

I just needed to add a space past "*" in the cout
