A trident is a fork with three tines (prongs). A simple picture of a trident can be made from asterisks and spaces:

*  *  *
*  *  *
*  *  *
*******
   *
   *
   *
   *

In this example, each tine is a vertical column of 3 asterisks. Each tine is separated by 2 spaces. The handle is a vertical column of 4 asterisks below the middle tine.

Tridents of various shapes can be drawn by varying three parameters: tt, the height of the tines, ss, the spacing between tines, and hh, the length of the handle. For the example above we have t = 3t = 3, s = 2s = 2, and h = 4h = 4.

You are to write an interactive program to print a trident. Your program should accept as input the parameters tt, ss, and hh, and print the appropriate trident. You can assume that tt, ss, hh are each at least 0 and not larger than 10.

      Yes, but 1423 people have solved it. A low AC rate doesn't necessarily mean anything.

    I had a lot of trouble on this question, but I think I finally figured it out. If you are having trouble with the last test case like I did, then make sure you check the values of t and s before printing a new line.

    Yeah the most common problem is that the judge counts extra space appended at the end. To fix this problem what I did was that I would only append spaces to the end and if it was the last to add spaces I wouldn't add it. i + 1 != 3;

    I sat staring at my screen trying to figure out how to do it

      For test case #1 and #2, you have a presentation error when submitting, meaning you're outputting excess spaces after the final tine asterisk (e.g., * * * \n, which should be * * *\n); this could be remedied by printing a new line after all of your asterisks on a line are printed.

      For the other three test cases, you are getting WAs (wrong answers): you are printing S tines with S spaces between them, instead of 3 tines with S spaces between them (this should be fixed first).

    is this really j1 with a 49.2% success rate?1

    my code works in eclipse but not in DM:OJ? I'm pretty sure all the spacing is right

      This question should worth more than 3 points
