ASAP PLZ- Having problems with basic pattern input/output

Question

Hey! I am new to this forum, and I am also new to java =).
I am writing a program that prompts a user to select 1 pattern out of 5. then the user needs to choose the number of lines he/she wants to display for instace:
(MENU)
PATTERN 5
1
12
123
1234
USER Selection : Pattern 5
Choose Number of Lines: 3
OUTPUT
Pattern 5
1
12
123
I have a basic code for a pyramid that deals with leading spaces etc.. but I don't have a clue how to use that method with my program
