Right-Angled Triangle of Stars

This program prints a right-angled triangle of stars.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program that prints a right-angled triangle of stars with 5 rows.

Source Code

1 public class RightTriangleStars {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 for(int i=1; i<=5; i++) {
4 for(int j=1; j<=i; j++) {
5 System.out.print("* ");
6 }
7 System.out.println();
8 }
9 }
10 }

Program Output

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

Explanation

The outer loop runs 5 times, each iteration representing a row, while the inner loop prints stars equal to the current row number, so stars increase row by row forming a right-angled triangle. This demonstrates how nested loops can build progressive patterns.
