Triangle using C++

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

Can easily do the following:

Code:

---

# 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.

Hey, it must have way that I will make this one triangle.

'+' Should be blank fields!

Maybe something like:

Code:

---

# 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.
