Simple Java question

Hey,

If you are using a nested loop to try to print an output like:





**
*

How do you do this? I am confused because I can do it in the reversed order since it would count in order to 6 stars.

int lines, stars;
for (lines = 0; lines < 6; lines++)

for(stars = 0; stars&lt;=lines; stars++)
 System.out.print('*');

System.out.println();

}
