the space equation is right. Again, stars is correct, but the thing I was hinting towards is a general formula for stars with N rows.
stars = 2 * (N - row) - 1
space = row

Re: help with loop to print an equliateral asterisk triangle
Almost right on the stars: what if you wanted to print an inverted triangle with 6 rows?
Re: help with loop to print an equliateral asterisk triangle
I'll give you some hints:
1. The number of spaces to draw out is N - 1 - row (starting with row 0)
2. The number of * to draw out starts at 1 and increases by 2 each time through, so 2 * row + 1...
