Asterisk design

[floryn97]

I want to create an asterisk form like this
*
**
***
****
*****
and so on ..
I have done a code that looks like this

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int x , y;
	char s;
	s='\n';
	x=0;
	y=1;
	while(x<10)
	{
		y=y+1;
		cout<<s;
		while (y<y+1)
		{
			cout<<"*";
			y=y+1;
		}
	x=x+1;
	}
	cin.get();
	
    return 0;
}

But when i run it , it outputs infinite asterisk's ...
Can you please help me , i am a begginer :)

y<y+1 is always true for all values of y so the loop will not stop.

Oh , thanks :D
Now i have done it succesfully..

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int x , y , a , z;
	char s;
	s='\n';
	a=1;
	x=0;
	y=1;
	cout<<"how many rows ???"<<endl;
	cin>>z;
	while(x<z)
	{
		y=1;
		a++;
		cout<<s;
		while (y<a)
		{
			cout<<"*";
			
			y++;
		}
	x=x+1;
	}
	cout<<'\n';
	system("pause");
	
    return 0;
}
