My output has to be
*
**
***
****
*****
******
but right now it just shows.
*

Can someone give me a hint on what I am doing wrong or if I am missing something?

#include <iostream>



using namespace std;



int main()
{
int star = 0;
int row = 6;
do
{
cout << "*";
cout<<endl;
star++;
star = 0;
row--;
}
while ((star <= row) && (row >= 1));

}

1. Why are you incrementing star on line 17 and immediately setting it back to 0 on line 18?

2. If you want the number of stars to increase on each succeeding row, why are you starting rows at 6 and decrementing it on each succeeding loop?

Remove star = 0; on line 18.
Your loop logic is a bit weird as r.stiltskin said but it should display properly in this instance. Good to know for the future.

No ... It will not give you the display you wish because right after every star printed you then print a new line.
What you need here is really a loop within a loop ...
The outer loop to handle the number of rows printed
The inner loop to handle the number of stars printed on each row
