Working code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int number;
	cout << "Enter number" << endl;
	cin >> number;
	cout << endl;
	for(int b=0;b<=number;b++)
	{
        for (int j = number; j>b ; j--)
		{
			cout << j;
		}
		cout<<endl;
    }
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

jmd15's code prints it in reverse order.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	int number;
	cout << "Enter number" << endl;
	cin >> number;
	cout << endl;

	for (int i = number; i >= 0; --i) {
		for (int j = number; j > i; j--)
			cout << ".." << j;
		cout << "\n";
	}
	return 0;
}

Yeah, same thing just reverse the order in which it's done. Instead of from big to small go from small to big.
