If you look at the pattern carefully you will find that stars are in increasing order of rows (i.e. 1 star in the first row, followed by 2 stars in second and so on).

Step by step descriptive logic to print right triangle star pattern.

  1. Input number of rows to print from the user. Store it in a variable say N.
  2. To iterate through rows run an outer loop from 1 to N with loop structure for(i=1; i<=N; i++).
  3. To iterate through columns run an inner loop from 1 to i with loop structure for(j=1; j<=i; j++). Inside the inner loop print star.
  4. After printing all columns of a row move to next line i.e. print new line.
