I need help making a tornado

Question

i have the basics down so far but it doesnt get smaller towards the bottom. I have no clue why it wont work & writing code for every line would be a pain. here is my code so far any help would be much appreciated.
void tornado(){
cout<<"\n";
int g=(10+rand()%15);
int n=(1+rand()%30);
for(int i=2;i<8;i++){
for(int y=0;y<n;y++){
cout<<" ";
}

for(int l=0;l<g;l++){
cout<<"=";
}
cout<<"\n"
}

Answer 1

You don't have enough curly brackets. Count your open curly brackets ({) and closed ones (}). There has to be the same amount.

You have 4 open ones and 3 closed, meaning the error is your syntax.

Answer 2

I did my own version:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

//Max width is 20 and any length greater
//than the height is pointless.
using namespace std;

void tornado(int length, int width,int decFactor){
const int totalWidth = width;
for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){
for(int p = 0; p < (totalWidth - width); p++){
cout << " ";
}
if(width > 0){
for(int o = width*2; o > 0;o--){
cout << "=";
}
}
cout << endl;
width-= decFactor;
}
}

int main() {
int tornadoLength;
cout << "Length of tornado? ";
cin >> tornadoLength;
cout << tornadoLength << endl;

int tornadoWidth;
cout << "Width of tornado? ";
cin >> tornadoWidth;
cout << tornadoWidth << endl << endl;

int decreasingFactor = ceil((double)tornadoWidth/tornadoLength);
tornado(tornadoLength,tornadoWidth, decreasingFactor);

return 0;
}

Answer 3

Rain Thank you for trying to help i would like to check this code out, however i have already solved the problem this was my conclusion on how to solve the problem:

Answer 4

void tornado(){
cout<<"\n";
int g=(10+rand()%15);
int n=(1+rand()%15);
int u=(1+rand()%2);
int w=(2+rand()%3);

for(int i=0;i<1;i++){
for(int y=0;y<n;y++){
cout<<" ";
}

for(int l=0;l<g;l++){
cout<<"=";
}
cout<<"\n";
}
for(int b=0;b<g;b++){
int e=(1+rand()%2);
for(int r=0;r<n+u;r++){
cout<<" ";
}
for(int f=0;f<g-w;f++){
cout<<"=";
}
cout<<"\n";
if(e==1){
w+3;
u++;
}
if(e==2){
w++;
u-3;
}
}
}
