Advanced Nested Loop Patterns

In this problem, you will create a program that reads the number of rows n from standard input, uses nested loops to draw an n-row right triangle pattern with *, and calculates and displays the total count of * to standard output.

Learning Objective: Understand complex loop processing combining nested loops with break/continue

Overview

Learn to generate 2D patterns using nested loops and control loop execution based on conditions.

Input Format

n

• n: number of rows in the triangle (positive integer)

Specifications

• Display a right triangle pattern of n rows using *
• For each row i, display * from 1 to i times
• After the triangle, display the total count of *

Input/Output Example

Input:

5

Output:

*
