[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][SIZE=1]i need a program which outputs a series of asterisks (\* - stars) to form the following pattern below.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=1]i think in order [FONT=Times New Roman]to get the second half of the pattern you will need another set of **for loops** , this time counting down or you can try to change over the loop control and decrement after 5.[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][SIZE=1]The output should look like: (this is a short version, you should have 10 lines of stars)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1]i then need a METHOD which produces the Fibonacci series when called. [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1][/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1]The series is formed by adding two numbers in the series to generate the third. Note the first two are 0 and 1, so to make the make number we add 0 + 1 to give 1. The fourth number is obtained by adding the second and third numbers, 1 + 1 gives 2. So the series looks like:[/SIZE][/FONT]
