My Assignment about pyramid

Question

This is my assignment below
a) Get one number and a character from the user. Print the following shape using the character. In other words let’s assume that the user enters 5 as a number and ‘*’ as a character, then the program should print out the following shape which is a pyramid of 5 lines, builded with character “*”
Then the program should ask, whether or not the user wants to continue, if the user enters the character “y/Y” then do the same again, for any other character the program should stop.
Can u help me? I am bad at for loops so... (It's a pyramid shape actually...)

those codes are not the bottom half. try to compile it please to see what i mean... I couldn'T show in here.Not sure what pattern you're trying to construct, but try to write down on a piece of paper how many spaces and how many stars you want to display per row.
Here's an example:
           | single space  | space+star
-----------+---------------+------------
         * |        8      |        1
       * * |        6      |        2
     * * * |        4      |        3
   * * * * |        2      |        4
* * * * * |        0      |        5
   * * * * |        2      |        4
     * * * |        4      |        3
       * * |        6      |        2
         * |        8      |        1
           | single space  | space+star
-----------+---------------+------------
     *     |        4      |        1
    * *    |        3      |        2
   * * *   |        2      |        3
  * * * *  |        1      |        4
* * * * * |        0      |        5
  * * * *  |        1      |        4
   * * *   |        2      |        3
    * *    |        3      |        2
     *     |        4      |        1 Now try to translate it into code.
