Answer 4

My attempt from the internet and other resources:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void pyramid(int num){
for(int i = 1;i <= num;i++){

for(int j = i;j <= num;j++){
cout << " ";
}

for(int a = 1;a <= 2 * i - 1;a++){
cout << "*";
}

cout << endl;

}
}

int main(){

pyramid(5);
return 0;
}

Problem: This builds the pyramid based on rows
What I want is to build the pyramid given number of blocks.
Example: given 9 blocks
output;
*
***
*****
Example: given 17 blocks
Output:
*
***
*****
*******
1 block left.
