printing asterisks

[ctrlz]

i have to write a code that makes the asterisks print like this:

*
**
***

and so on. this is what i had before, but this code is wrong since my professor told me. it works, but she said that she wants something different. and i'm stuck, i have no idea how she wants to do it. this is the code i had before:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    int y;
    for(int k = 0; k < 1; k++){
            cout<<"*"<<endl;
for(int k = 1; k < 2; k++)
                    cout<<"**"<<endl;

}
            
                    for (int k = 2; k < 3; k++){
                         cout<<"***"<<endl;
}

cin>>y;
return 0;
}

i have to use two for loops (one nested) to that prints the asterisks i showed above.

Its really simple the program you want.

You only need two for loops, one inside another:

for (;;)
{
  for (;;)
  {
    // code
  }
  // code
}

Your going to want to cout a single char in one of the loops, and a newline in the other.
The main difficulty is figuring out the number of loops the inner most loop must do to print the correct amount of stars.
