Print Pattern - Implementation

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
 // Outer loop: runs 5 times for 5 lines
 for (int line = 1; line <= 5; line++) {
 // Inner loop: prints line number of stars
 for (int star = 1; star <= line; star++) {
 cout << "*";
 }
 // Move to next line
 cout << endl;
 }
 return 0;
}
``` The outer for loop controls which line I'm printing. The inner loop runs exactly 'line' times, printing one star each time. After all stars for a line are printed, endl creates a line break so the next line starts fresh. The outer loop controls rows, the inner loop controls what prints in each row. This dependency creates the pattern.
