	int a,b,c, rows;

	printf("Enter the number of rows\t");
	scanf("%d", &rows);  

	for(a=1; a<=rows; a++) 
	{  
		// Print margin spaces before the stars in each row  
		for(b=a; b<rows; b++) 
		{  
			printf(" ");  
		}  

		// Print spaces after the stars in each row 
		for(c=1; c<=rows; c++) 
		{  
			printf("*");  
		}  
		//goes to next line after each row  
		printf("\n"); 
	}  
	return 0;  
}
