#include<stdio.h>
  #include<conio.h>
  void main()
  {
	 int i,j,n,k;
	 printf("Enter No. Of lines :");
	 scanf("%d",&n);

		for(i=1;i<=n;i++)

		 {
		 for(j=n-i;j>=1;j--);
		 {

			 printf("*");

I am sorry to say this, but your code doesn't print a triangle at all. For it to print it correctly, you need to remove the semicolon for the for loop.Once you get the code for printing the required triangle, then look at my suggestion below.

Spoiler

Here is a hint for you. Use this small code somewhere in your for loop.

if (i < j)
    printf("*");
else
    printf(" ");

If you know where, then this program is as good as done />

Raghav

You need an if statement to use your i and j variables, so the program knows when to print the stars.

You have the right idea, but please don't post code without code tags - click on the [code] icon in the editor.
