How do I print an inverted triangle with numbers?
Use the same loop structure, but inside the inner loop, print the variable 'col' (for 1234, 123) or 'row' (for 4444, 333).

If the outer loop runs from 1 to N, the number of stars per row is N - row + 1.
Reversing the outer loop (starting from N and decrementing) is usually much cleaner and easier to read, reducing the chance of off-by-one math errors.
You likely used <= instead of < when checking the boundary, causing the math to yield 0 on the final iteration, or you started counting from 0 instead of 1 without adjusting the math.
