Triangle using C++

[Brake Fail]

Is there anyone who can help me to make a triangle like this? (Must use if and else statements!)

Can easily do the following:

# include <iostream> 

using namespace std; 

int main(){

int row, col; 

cout << "Enter col"; 
cin >> col; 

cout << "Enter row"; 
cin >> row; 

char a ='*'; 


for(int i=1;i<=col;i++){ 

for(int x<=5;x>i;x--){

cout <<a; 

}
cout <<endl; 
}

system ( "pause"); 
return 0; 
}

Now it's so long since I've coded in c++, so the code I can not help you.

But it is surely something to put a boolian to false and then check whether it is false, and set it to true when the stars are obtained. And then do a "goto start" or the like. if you can.

'+' Should be blank fields!

Maybe something like:

# include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
int main() 
{

int row,col; 

cout << "Enter col"; 
cin >> col; 

cout << "Enter row"; 
cin >> row; 

char a ='*'; 

for (int i = 1; i <= col, i ++) 
{
for (int x = 0, x <col - i; x ++) 
cout << ""; 

for (int x = 0, x <i, x ++) 
cout << a; 
cout << endl; 
}

system ( "pause"); 
return 0; 
}

What are "row" used for?

I am not sure that "int x<= 5" makes sense.

Thank you for your reply kelfro. It was just what I was looking for. You have the right terms for the "row" but had used it in another task.
