Write a program in C to make such a pattern like a pyramid with an asterisk. The pattern is as follows :

   * 
  * * 
 * * * 
* * * *

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
   int i,j,spc,rows,k;
   printf("Input number of rows : ");
   scanf("%d",&rows);
   spc=rows+4-1;
   for(i=1;i<=rows;i++)
   {
         for(k=spc;k>=1;k--)
            {
              printf(" ");
            }
                      
	   for(j=1;j<=i;j++)
	   printf("* ");
	printf("\n");
    spc--;
   }
}

Sample Output:

Input number of rows  : 4                                                                                     
       *                                                                                                      
      * *                                                                                                     
     * * *                                                                                                    
    * * * *
