can someone help me out?! I am writing this with metrowerks code warrior. Thank you for your help. (simplest program would be best)

by the way, i would try and figure this out on my own, but i am in the city with my laptop and dont have my books or resources to use.

Well, you could just do line after line of "cout<<....", and there ya go.

[emsepower]

is there any way to do with with a loop?

[black_sol]

yer just use a steady increment, make sure the loop knows about it mind.

How can I get this to start each asterics four spaces to the left:
example:
*
**
*** (not like this)

*
**
*** (like this)

int J, K, rowCount;

cout << "Enter Row Size: ";

for(K = 0 ; K < rowCount ; K++) {
for(J = 0 ; J < K ; J++)
cout << "*";
cout << endl;

try this out, much of it is hardcoded and ill leave the input stuff for you to do/play around with, ive used VC++ as i dont have your compiler, but it should work

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int levels = 15;
	int mid = 22;
	int k =0;

	for(int i = 0; i < mid; i++)
	{
		for(int j = 0; j < i; j++)
		{
				cout << "*";
		}

		if(i > levels)
		{
			if(i > 19)
			{
				for( k = 0; k < i; k++)
				{
					cout << "*";
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	for(i = mid; i > 0; i--)
	{
		for(int j = 0; j < i; j++)
		{
				cout << "*";
		}

		if(i > levels)
		{
			if(i > 19)
			{
				for( k = 0; k < i; k++)
				{
					cout << "*";
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
