Lab C++ Right Triangles

THE PROBLEM: Design and write a program in C++ that will printout a series of right triangles built of asterisks “*”. Each of the triangles will be printed out one asterisk at a time using for-loops. Each of the triangles shall be 10 asterisks high and 10 across, but in different configurations.

Example:

* ********** * **********

** ********* ** *********

*** ******** *** ********

**** ******* **** *******

***** ****** ***** ******

****** ***** ****** *****

******* **** ******* ****

******** *** ******** ***

********* ** ********* **

********** * ********** *

Note: The triangles will not print out on the same line as above.

They will be printed out vertically, one after the other:

1. *

**

2. **

*

3. *

**

4. **

THE DESIGN: Recall the steps in problem-solving, go through each one in this project. Your top-down design, written in your program comments, must be complete. Your design will be compared to your program.

IMPLEMENTATION: In the entire program, you may only cout three possible things: “ “ , “\n” or “*”. You may not cout more than one character at a time. To build the triangles, use loops that count how many elements have been printed.

WHAT TO HAND IN: You may document your design as comments at the top of your program. You must hand in your program and sample test run on paper.
