    Easy, just have a for loop count backwards. However, to do it in one for loop is kind of hard (though not impossible)

    for (int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
    {
         for (int j = i; j > 0; j--)
         {
              System.out.print(">");
         }
         System.out.println("");
    }

    int n = 10;
    for(int i = (n*n+n)/2; i > 0; i--)
    {
         if (i*2%(n*n+n)==0)
         {
              n--;
              System.out.print("\n>");
         }
         System.out.print(">");
    }

    oops... flawed logic I was only checking if something was divisible by (n^2+n)/2, not equal to it.

    		int n = 10;
    		for (int i = (n * n + n) / 2; i > 0; i--)
    		{
    			if (i == (n * n + n) / 2)
    			{
    				n--;
    				System.out.print("\n>");
    			}
    			else
    			{
    				System.out.print(">");
    			}
    		}
