Nested Loop

The document contains two examples of C++ programs that input the size of an equilateral triangle between 2 and 50, and output the triangle using nested loops. The first example uses while, for, and do-while loops to output a solid triangle of asterisks. The second example enhances this by adding logic to the inner loop to output spaces instead of asterisks except at the edges of each row, producing an outlined triangle shape. Both examples prompt the user to input a size, validate it, output the triangle with different loop methods, and prompt the user to try again or exit.
