Need help with printing right angle triangle

[Sleeping Giant]

This is the code I came up with

public class TriangleNumber3 {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int size = 8;
for (int row = 1;row <= size; row++){
for(int col = 1;col <= row;col++){
System.out.print(col);
}
System.out.println();
}

}
}
and the result is this

1
12
123
1234
12345
123456
1234567
12345678

but the result that I want for the exercise is this

1
21
321
4321
54321
654321
754321
87654321

any ideas on how I can modify the code. Have to use nested for loops for the exercise.

Thanks

Try making the inner loop increment down instead of up, so make the inner loop start at row, and then instead of adding 1 to it just subtract 1.

Is this what you where thinking.

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int size = 8;
for (int row = 1;row <= size; row++){
for(int col = row;col <= row;col--){
System.out.print(col);
}
System.out.println();
}

This is what it gave me.

10 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 .........

code:

for(int col = row;col <= row;col--)

When will this for loop exit?

[Panphobia]

After

code:

int col = row;(this is condition for repetition);col--

when it is you are counting up you want your condition for repetition to be loop while col <= row, but if you are counting down you want something else
