The Attempt at a Solution

Im stuck after the begin
How can I carry out the printSpaces(j+1) if the value of j wasn't given?

Is there an error in the question or is there something that I am not seeing :/

Looks like an error in the given algorithm unless the language automatically initializes all new variables to zero (or some other specified value).

If not defining j was an oversight on the question composer's part then you might state some assumed value for it and proceed to solve the problem using that value.

Thanks man

So if I assume that j starts at 0 the output would be:

-*--------*
***********

Looks right to me!
