Write a function getatriangle(R,f,b) that takes the number of rows R and returns a character matrix that has the shape of a triangle filled with the character 'f' on a background filled with the character 'b'.

Assume that R is a positive integer and that f and b are single characters. If b is not given, use '.' . If f is not given, use '#'.

Ex

>>getatriangle(4,'@','-')

ans =

---@---

--@@@--

-@@@@@-

@@@@@@@

>> getatriangle(5)

ans =

....#....

...###...

Hi.

R = 20;
f = '@';
b = '-';

max_num=2*R-1;
fprintf('\n');
for i=1:R
    S1=repmat(b,[1 R-i]);
    S2=repmat(f,[1 2*i-1]);
    S=[S1 S2 S1];
    fprintf('%s\n',S);
end
