Write a program that takes an integer (in a variable) and displays, using asterisks, the figure below. For example, if the input is 5, the program should display.

Can you answer this question to help me understand your question more.

Do you want a function and takes 1 input parameter (5 in your example) and then prints out a String of asterisks in the shape of a triangle?

Try this!

func newFunc(someNumber: Int) {
     for index in someNumber {
          print("*") // There might be a code for the * symbol.
     }
}

// Call the function
newFunc(someNumebr: 5)
