What is the c++ equilateral triangle program?

[btk1000]

all sides should have a 60 degree angle...a pyramid perhaps

What exactly are you doing and what are you referring to?

( you can't have a perfect equilateral triangle with stars )

You need for loops to do it

yea but i'm having trouble printing the spaces

[Bazzy]

What code do you have so far?

cout<< "*" <<" ";
