For some reason, my pattern was changed when posted. I really need to know how to write the pattern so that the first line has 9 asterisks, second line has 8, third line has 7, and so on - down to 1. All asterisks should be flush right margin row 1 begins 9 asterisks in col 1, row 2 begins 8 asterisks in col 2, etc.
This is hard to explain, so I hope I'm making sense!!
Thanks!
Use [code][/code] tags to preserve whitespace, I dont think my simple edit is what you had in mind.
Don't try messing with the interpreter, just use the tags.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.

Thanks so much, Dave. I will look into these tags. I appreciate your prompt response!!
If you want leading whitespace, you'll need a loop that puts out leading whitespace.
[edit]Such as,
orCode:for (col = 1; col <= row; col ++) { cout << " "; }//end for
cleverly placed.Code:for (col = 1; col <= (10 - row); col ++) { cout << " "; }//end for
