There's often more than one way to solve a programming problem. joeprogrammer is sending you down one road, and Ancient Programmer down the other. Unless you understand what the loops are doing however, it won't matter which road you take.
In your second program you don't want to print out x, that will just give you 9s on the first line, 8s on the second etc. Instead you want to print from 1 to x, which could be the value y, if you set up the second loop right by understanding what you are trying to do, by writing it down, etc.

You only need to reverse the second loop. (Which is sort of what I was trying to say before.) Thus, your loops would look like this:

Ok now i see....so if i want to make *'s appear now i should have to change the int to char but then i dont see how you get them to print because it isn't the same as with the numbers is it.

Like Mr. Lerner said there, unless you yourself understand what looops are and how they function, it would be a tough time for you.
Just keep in mind that the inner for loop is executed outer for loop number of times.
For each iteration of outer loop,
Run the entire inner loop.

I gave you the answer to one of your homework questions. Now, can't you figure out how to do the rest? Loops are difficult, and it's because they execute a lot of instructions in a small amount of code.
~s.o.s~ explained loops very well, and if you want to know more, you should read up on them (use Google).

Just replace the y in cout with your character.

Here's the code for the first problem:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num;
do
{
cout << "Enter a number > 0: ";
cin >> num;
} while (num <= 0);
for (int j=num; j>0; j--)
{
for (int i=1; i<=j; i++)
cout << i << " ";
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;

The second one:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for (int i=0; i<11; i++)
cout << '=';
cout << endl;
for (i=0; i<5; i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<2; j++)
{
cout << "*";
}
cout << endl;
}
for (i=0; i<11; i++)
cout << '=';
cout << endl;
return 0;

And third:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num;
cout << "Enter a number > 0: ";
cin >> num;
for (int j=num; j>0; j--)
{
for (int i=j; i>0; i--)
cout << "*";
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
