I figured how to do it the other way going down
with this
int main ()
{
for (row=1; row <=10 ; row++)
{
for (col=1; row>=col; col++)
{
cout << "*" ;
}
cout << endl ;
}
}
please help, thank you :)

1) You should use code tags

[code]//stuff[/code]

looks like: //stuff it makes it easier to read.

2) You should learn to start with 0 and not 1 in for loops since many times when you index they begin with index 0 and not 1 like in arrays and stl containers.

3) All you have to do is reverse your code and start from the 10th row down to the first like this

const int ROWS = 10;

for( int row = ROWS; row > 0; --row )
{
    for( int column = 0; column < row; ++column )
    {
        std::cout << '*';
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

4) Try not to use magic numbers line you have in your first for loop "10" what is 10? It is the max rows. So you should declare it as a constant value.
