Hi, I am having some trouble with a Qbasic code that's supposed to print a pyramid looking like 0
1 0 1
2 1 0 1 2
3 2 1 0 1 2 3
etc using a nested if statement. I'm very new at this and I would like any help possible. Thanks!

This seems to work! All integers and in no way optimised.

If you require a true pyramid shape you will have to space out to the print position - use max as the spacing control.

max = 8 'Set no. of lines
CLS
PRINT " 0" 'First line

FOR x = 1 TO max
y = x 'Going up
WHILE y <> 0
PRINT y;
y = y - 1
WEND
PRINT " 0 "; 'Middle zero
y = 1 'Going down
WHILE y <> x + 1
PRINT y;
y = y + 1
WEND
PRINT 'Release line
NEXT x

Oh...

Well we all miss one once in a while

Well, tell you what, I can join your party, and we can go gain some exp, until you gain an extra skill in "Homweork beggar spotting"

How does that sound?
