Thread: Triangle issues

Well, recently I chose to start working on Java. So I bought this book and now, on one of the exercises it wants me to make an isosceles triangle that has spaces in between each star ( * ). I would type it out but it seems that the forum wont allow me to put the example in proper format.

Here is what I have so far.

package testin;
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Main {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scr = new Scanner(System.in);
        int sideSize;
 
       System.out.print("Enter size of the equal " +
       "sides in an triangle:");
       sideSize = scr.nextInt();
 
       System.out.println();
 
       for (int row=0; row<sideSize; row++)
       {
 
              for (int col=1; col <=row; col++)
              {
 
                     if ((col == 1) || (col == row))
                     {
 
                            System.out.print("*");
                     }
 
              else
              {
 
                     System.out.print(" ");
              }
 
              System.out.println();
       }
       for ( int col=1; col<sideSize; col++)
       {
 
              System.out.print("*");
       }
 
       System.out.print(" ");
 
       }
}
}
