That is not my code, I just fixed the problem they had
with getPattern2() function. I agree with you though,
I would not have passed lines or stars by reference,
and I would have used for loops not while loops...

did...) Just a comment.

If "lines" is assigned to 9 and 1 in getPattern1 and
getPattern2,
respectively, why do you pass it as a pointer in the
function? This
doesn't make any sense. You pass a paramter when
you're going to use
it.

The same counts for "stars". You only assign the value
of "lines" to
it. 

My advice is to remove those parameters from the
function call since
you don't need them and define "starts" and "lines"
within the
functions getPattern1 and getPattern2.
