Question 6

Write a program to generate a triangle or an inverted triangle till n terms based upon the user's choice of triangle to be displayed.

Example 1
Input:
Type 1 for a triangle and type 2 for an inverted triangle
1
Enter the number of terms
5
Output:

1
2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5 5

Example 2
Input:
Type 1 for a triangle and type 2 for an inverted triangle
2
Enter the number of terms
6
Output:

6 6 6 6 6 6
5 5 5 5 5
4 4 4 4
3 3 3
2 2
