C program and algorithm to generate a pattern

Algorithm

1. start
2. input limit
3. set i=1 and j=1
4. repeat step 5 to step 8 until i<=limit otherwise go to step 9
5. repeat step 6 until j<=i otherwise go to step 7
6. display *
7. i++
8. go to step 4
9. stop

Program

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>   //only windows users

void main()

{

int lim,i,j;

printf("\n enter the limit:\t");

scanf("%d",&lim);

for(i=1;i<=lim;i++)

{

printf("\n");

for(j=1;j<=i;j++)

{

printf("*");

}

}

getch();           //only windows users

}

Output

enter the limit: 4
