The first thing you need to do is get the number of lines to print, using cin. First, create a variable to hold the number of lines, then read it in from the user.

An example would be
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int count;
  2. cout << "What is the count?";
  3. cin >> count;

Use for loops to print the stars, the spaces, etc. The standard for loop structure is one of the following two

for( int i = 0; i < numberOfTimes; i++ )
for( int i = 1; i <= numberOfTimes; i++ )

for loop number of lines
{
for loop spaces
{
print space
}
for loop stars
{
print star, print space
}
print newline
}
}

Edit:
BTW, the number of spaces to print is equal to the TotalNumberOfLines - CurrentLineNumber
The number of stars to print is equal to the CurrentLineNumber

Ok so lets 'draw' one by hand and then figure out how to get the computer to do what we did.

(I'm going to use '.' instead of ' ' so you can see them.)

Ok so in my head, I start with the base of the triange as that determines how big it will be:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. *.*.*.*

Then I just add the lines above it:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. ...*
  2. ..*.*
  3. .*.*.*
  4. *.*.*.*

Is that what you wanted?

So, for a 4 row triangle, the first row must be indented 3 spaces, the next 2 spaces, the next 1 space and the last line isn't indented at all.

The first line has 1 star, the second 2 stars seperated by a space, the third 3 stars with spaces and the last 4 stars with spaces.

Do you see a pattern here that you might be able to exploit?

  1. while (space=0)

Is it something you really mean? Shouldn't it be ==?
