This is an optional solution:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{	
	int row;
	int startrow;
	int num;
	int counter;
	
	cout << "Give the number of rows of the pyramid:" << endl;
    cin >> row;
    
	counter = 1;
    for(startrow = row; row>0;--row)
	{   
		//Drawing blancs
		for(num=startrow-counter;num>0;num--)
		{
			cout << " " ;
		}
		
		//Drawing stars
		for(num=(counter*2)-1; num > 0;num--)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}


		cout << endl;		
		counter++;
	}


	return 0;
}

Hope this helps.
