Hi, I am trying to make it to where I can out into a descending or ascending order. Like 
1
2
3
4
5
6
 
**********
*********
********
*******
******
//so forth so on
however I am having trouble, I have experimented with do while, for, while and various methods of each of doing so. Could someone send me in the right direction?

You'll need 2 for loops. One inside of the other.

The first one should go from 0 to the number of lines.
The second one should go from 0 to the index of the first one.

In the inner loop, print a *
After the inner loop, but within the second loop, print a \n or endl.
