Create a triangle out of stars using only recursion

Question

I need to to write a method that is called like printTriangle(5);. We need to create an iterative method and a recursive method (without ANY iteration). The out

Answer 1

    void trianglePrint(int rows){
            int static currentRow = 1;
            int static currentStar = 1;

            // enter new line in this condition
            // (star > currentrow)  

            if (currentStar > currentRow ){
                currentStar = 1;
                currentRow++;
                cout << endl;
            }

            if (currentRow > rows){
                return; // finish
            }

            cout << "*";
            currentStar++;

            trianglePrint(rows);
        }
