Author: Marty Stepp (on 2013/04/01)

Modify the SlashFigure program from the previous exercise to produce a new program SlashFigure2 that uses a global constant for the figure's height. The previous output used a constant height of 6. Here is the outputs for a constant height of 4 and 7 respectively: (If you previously solved Self-Check problems 34 and 35 in the book, you will have created a loop table that will be useful in solving this problem. Use it!)
