More FAQs in Using Mathematical Formulas to Control Loop Bounds
Map the row number (X) to the star count (Y). Find the difference between Y values (the slope), and use basic algebra (y = mx + b) to find the formula.
The formula is (2 * row) - 1, assuming your row counter starts at 1.
Using mathematical bounds inside the for-loop condition is cleaner, much faster, and scales perfectly for any value of N, unlike hardcoded if-statements.
