C# Basic Data Types Overview
Objective
1. Prompt the user to enter the desired width of the triangle.
2. Use a loop to print each row of the triangle.
3. Each row should contain leading spaces followed by asterisks (`*`).
4. The number of leading spaces should increase as the number of asterisks decreases.
5. Display the resulting triangle pattern on the console.
6. Ensure the program handles incorrect inputs gracefully.
Write a C# program which asks for a width, and displays a triangle like this one:
Enter the desired width: 5

Example C# Exercise
Show C# Code
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Ask the user to enter the width of the triangle
Console.Write("Enter the desired width: ");
// Read and convert user input to an integer
int width = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
// Generate the inverted right-angled triangle pattern
for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
{
// Print leading spaces
Console.Write(new string(' ', i));
// Print asterisks
Console.WriteLine(new string('*', width - i));
}
}
}
Output
Enter the desired width: 5
