  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	for (int x=1; x<=5; x++)
	{
		for (int y=1; y<=x; y++)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}
		cout << endl;
	}
	system ("pause");
	return 0;
}


I've got a lot more questions but I'm stuck in this one.

The answer depends on purpose.

If the purpose is to learn basic programming constructs and logic, then you do use the low level stuff, as in the code examples above.

If the purpose is to use C++, then read the reference documentation about io manipulators.
For example: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iomanip/setfill/
