Printing *s as triangles in Java?

Question

My assignment in my Java course is to make 3 triangles. One left aligned, one right aligned, and one centered. I have to make a menu for what type of triangle and then input

Answer 1

// This is for normal triangle

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 5; j > i; j--)
            {
                System.out.print(" ");
            }
            for (int k = 1; k <= i + 1; k++) {
                System.out.print(" *");
            }
            System.out.print("\n");
        }

// This is for left triangle, just removed space before printing *

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 5; j > i; j--)
            {
                System.out.print(" ");
            }
            for (int k = 1; k <= i + 1; k++) {
                System.out.print("*");
            }
            System.out.print("\n");
        }
