[RESOLVED] write a script

I need to write a script that outputs XHTML to display the following patterns:

a)

*
**

b)

s *********
s s********
s s s*******
s s s s******
s s s s s*****
s s s s s s****
s s s s s s s***
s s s s s s s s**
s s s s s s s s s*

s= blank spaces

the 2nd pattern starts with 10 asterisks, then 1 blank space and 9 asterisks, 2 blank spaces and 8 asterisks, 3 blank spaces and 7 asterisks…9 blank spaces and 1 asterisks

All asterisks (*) should be printed by a single statement of the form document.write( “*” ); (this causes the asterisks to print side by side). A statement of the form document.writeln( “<br />” ); can be used to position to the next line. A statement of the form document.write( ” ” ); can be used to display a space (needed for the second pattern). There should be no other output statements in the program. The last pattern requires that each line begin with an appropriate number of blanks. I guess I may need to use the XHTML <pre> </pre> tags.

I was able to do the first pattern but I’m stuck with the second one. Anyone can help? Thanks

This is my script for the first pattern:
<!–
nextRow:
for ( var row = 1; row <= 10; ++row) {
document.writeln( “<br />” );

for ( var column = 10; column <= 10; –column) {
if ( column < row )
continue nextRow;

document.write( “* ” );
}
}
