I don't see how you could get an output like you did if you used a loop. This should be the correct implementation of the first one.

(Toggle Plain Text)

for (int i=1; i <= 5; i++){
  for (int j=i; j > 0; j--)
    cout << "* ";
  cout << endl;
}

The second one is easy also. Instead of outputing * just replace it with j, and you're going to have to add some additional parts. But I'll let you try to figure that out yourself. You'll probably have to use another set of loops.

Thanks!!! That was really a great help. Anyway here's the code i use in making this output:

1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3

1

for(a=1;a<=5;a++)
{
 for(b=a;b>=1;b--)
   printf("\t%d",a-b+1);
   printf("\n");
}
for(c=1;c<=4;c++)
{
 for(d=c;d<=4;d++)
   printf("\t%d",d-c+1);
   printf("\n");
}
getch();
}
