Code :
#include <stdio.h>int main(){ int i, j, k; for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { for (j = 5; j >= i; j--) { printf(" "); } for (k = 1; k <= i; k++) { printf("*"); } printf("\n"); } return 0;}
-
Header File:
#include <stdio.h>
is needed to useprintf()
for printing output. -
Main Function: The program starts from
int main()
. It returns 0 to indicate successful completion. -
Outer Loop (Rows): The outer
for
loop (i = 1 to 5
) controls the number of rows. Each row contains increasing numbers of stars in a right-aligned format. -
First Inner Loop (Spaces): The first inner
for
loop (j = 5 to j >= i
) prints spaces (" "
) to align the stars to the right. -
Second Inner Loop (Stars): The second inner
for
loop (k = 1 to k <= i
) prints stars (*
) starting from 1 up to the current row numberi
. -
New Line:
printf("\n");
moves the output to a new line after printing each row.
Output :
