Nested Counting Loops Exercise

This is a loop nesting exercise. Use two loops, including at least one for loop, to write a C++ program that prints out an upside down triangle of stars to the screen.

Write a program from scratch

• Add code to template file ex3_stars.cpp in the replit team project or create it in your IDE.
• The user will enter the number of stars in the first line, then nested loops will print the triangle of stars.
  For example:

    
  
        How many stars on the first line? 5
  
        *****
        ****
        ***
        **
        *
    
  

  or:

    
  
        How many stars on the first line? 2
  
        **
        *
      
  

Tips:

• try starting with a counting for loop that counts down from the number the user entered to 1 like this:

    

      How many stars on the first line? 5
        5
        4
        3
        2
        1

      

• then add an inner loop that can print that many stars on one line.
• each loop will have its own counting variable - make sure it has a unique name

When you are done:

• Take screenshots demonstrating two different sizes of star triangle.
• For this exercise, you will have: ex3_stars.cpp.
• If you have completed Exercises 1,2 and 3, congratulations! Option 1 is complete! Please download a zip file from replit and upload it to URCourses.
