small problem ... I need help

I'm very new to Java and I'm getting really good so far in writing codes but i need help with these programs :


how can i print these shapes using for loop :

first shape : (I meant with the numbers to be numbers of spaces )
1234* // this line has 4 spaces
123**
12***
1****
*****

second shape:

----*
---**
--*-*
-*--*
*---*

these are dashes not spaces ... how can i print them using for loops

What have you tried so far?

Code :

---

public class Test2
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
 
		int count = 1;
		int count2 = 1;
 
 
		for (int i = 5 ; i>= 1; i--)
		{
			while(count <= (i-1) )
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
				count++;
			}
 
 
				while (count2 <= i-4)
				{
 
					System.out.print("*");
                    count2+=1;
				}
 
 
				System.out.println();
				count = 1;
                count2 = 1;
 
			}
			} }

this is what i tried but it is not working i'd think of it some more but i don't have time I have an exam tommorow and I still have lots of things to study and review and hopefully understand :confused:

I just need a quick solution for these I'm not stupid .. hehehe..
I just don't have time :eek:
I'll really appreciate it if anyone helped me out with them :D

Hi.The first style Loop will be showed below

Code :

---

public class LoopPrint{
 
 
public static void main(String args[]){
   int countspace=4;
   int countstar=1;
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
   int j=countspace;
 while(j>0)
   {
      System.out.print(" ");
      j--;
   }
   int m=countstar;
 while(m>0){
      System.out.print("*");
      m--;
   }
   System.out.println("");
   countspace--;
   countstar++;
}
}
}
