// Half Pyramid Pattern
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare variable for number of rows
    int rows;

    // Step 2: Prompt user for input
    cout << "Enter the number of rows for the half pyramid: ";
    cin >> rows;

    // Step 3: Outer loop for rows
    for (int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
        // Step 4: Inner loop to print asterisks
        // Number of asterisks is equal to the current row number
        for (int j = 1; j <= i; ++j) {
            cout << "* "; // Added a space for better visual separation
        }
        
        // Step 5: Move to the next line after each row
        cout << endl;
