    Default How would I set up a loop to draw a triangle using *'s given a user entered size

    Example Run 1:
    Shape? triangle
    Size? 4
       *
      ** 
     *** 
    ****

    (those _'s are suppose to represent blank spaces)

    I am guessing I need to set up a loop to draw the spaces and then one to do the stars

    Please don't post the same question twice. Your other post has been deleted.

    As for you question, did you search the forums? Try search for "triangle asterisk", there are a few older posts you might be interested in reading.
