std::cout << std::endl << "Let's Draw a triangle!\n";

//determine how many lines will be drawn
int triangleBase = 0;

//draw the triangle
for (int i = 5 ; i >= triangleBase ; i--) {
drawBar(i);
}

return 0;
} //end main

int drawBar(int barSize) {
//draws a line of asterisks
//the number of asterisk drawn equals barSize

int theCounter = 5;
while (theCounter >= barSize) {
theCounter--;
std::cout << '*';
}
std::cout << '\n';
return 0;
