After a few intermediate to advanced Exercises, I decided to try something that’s a little easier this month. Still, even if you’re a pro, it helps to pull back and try something basic just to see what you can do with it.

\nFor this month’s Exercise, the challenge is to output a primitive, text mode bar graph. The data is held in an array:<\/p>\n
Your job is to write the code that outputs a five line bar graph that looks something like this:<\/p>\n That’s it, though multiple methods exist to solve this problem.<\/p>\n I tried to write a version without using nested loops, but that just didn’t work. And, yes, calling a function with a second loop is still a nested loop. Therefore, somehow you’ll probably devise a solution with a nested loop. To not do so would be remarkable, so be sure to share such a solution.<\/p>\n Please try this Exercise on your own before you check out what I’ve done<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Time to back off a tad for this month’s Exercise and try something more basic.
