How do i create a basic pattern of stars like a triangle shape using loops, array addressing, input and output commands and conditional statements

I tried using loops to do this but i couldnt get it to work very well but it is just a basic triangle shape with 5 rows

Try using probability functions for fractals... have a look in to this code and adapt it to draw whatever you want (as long as is a fractal like stars!!):

t(:,:,1) = [0 0 ;0 .16] ;
t(:,:,2) = [.85 0.04 ;-.04 .85] ;
t(:,:,3) = [.2 -.26 ;.23 .22] ;
t(:,:,4) = [-.15 0.28 ;.26 .24] ;
s(:,:,1) = [0 ;0] ;
s(:,:,2) = [ 0 ; 1.6] ;
s(:,:,3) = [ 0 ; 1.6] ;
s(:,:,4) = [ 0 ; .44] ;
lim = [.01 .86 .93 1];
  n = input('Points: ');            
  x = zeros(2,n);
  for  i= 2 : n
      u = rand(1) ;
      [j] = find(lim >= u, 1) ;
      x(:,i) = t(:,:,j)* x(:,i-1)+s(:,:,j);
  end
  y = x(2,:) ;
  x = x(1,:) ;
  figure ;
  plot(x,y,'.') ;
