using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

#include <conio.h>

#define STAR_ASTERISK_CHAR ('*')

#define AT_SIGN_CHAR ('@')

#define POUND_SIGN_CHAR ('#')

#define DOLLAR_SIGN_CHAR ('$')

#define BLANK_CHAR (' ')

void rowChar ( int n, char ch, bool newLine)

{

for (int iLoop=0; iLoop<n; iLoop++)

cout << ch;

}

if (newLine)

{

cout << endl;

}

}

void pause()

{

cout << "Press a key...." << endl;

while (!getch()) { }

}

void PrintRow(char ch, int N, int x)

{

int j = N-x;

rowChar(j,BLANK_CHAR,false);

rowChar(x,ch,true);

}

int main()

{

int n;

cout << "How many to start ??? :>";

cin >> n;

for (int iLoop=n; iLoop>0; iLoop--)

{

}

for (int iLoop=2; iLoop<=n; iLoop++)

{
