for (int row = 1; row <= 5; row ++) {
   for (int col = 1; col <= row; col ++)
      cout << "*";
   cout << "\n";
for (int row = 4; row >= 1; row --) {
   for (int col = 4; col >= row; col --)
      cout << "*";
   cout << "\n";

thanks but, can you use the loop " while " ? we haven't got that far, im a beginner , a freshmen. :)

To translate a for loop into a while loop:

for (a; b; c)
{
	d;
}

==>

a;
while (b)
{
	d;
	c;
}
