Re: HOW to do it?
What does that code do?
Can you write out, in words, what the pattern is?

Re: HOW to do it?
You could try a string array containing every stage of the dot pattern and having a for loop cycle through the elements.
Re: HOW to do it?
Hint: what you want to do is a very simple version of a histogram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram
Hint: the number of dots and the number of lines are a function of a related loop iteration limit.
Hint: start with a method that takes two parameters, and prints a single line of n characters.
(It strikes me that this is an excellent intro Coding Golf exercise. If I leave out all readability I get something like 190 chars. But I'm actually making a method call, which eats up lots of space. 146 with no method call, but still using readable looping. This is like 40 VM instructions.)

Re: HOW to do it?
This is not the solution to this problem.Originally Posted by BenjaminJ
This is a pretty standard first-year homework assignment, so it's better to try to steer the OP in the right direction by asking him questions rather than offering full solutions.
