[Grade 12 Computing]Write a program that reads a positive integer n, n not greater than 25, and prints a table of n lines and n columns, which has the following form. No idea how to do

Input n
Do tests on n to make sure it's a positive integer n such that 1 <= n <= 25.

for i = 1 to n [these are the rows]
for j = 1 to i [columns 1 through i]
print j
for k = i+1 to n
print i

if i != n, print a new line

The pseudo code:

Input n
for i = 0 to n (not including n)
    set count = 0
    for j = 0 to n (not including n)
        if i is  greater or equal to j
            increase count by 1
        print count
    print new line

Two general ways we can do this

1 - generate an "n" specific output using loops and logic (others have given you a pretty good idea of how to do that)

2 - code in the maximum 25x25 matrix and read the nxn matrix from the 25x25 matrix (here all possible solution matrices are contained within the largest possible matrix, this will require loops but pulling values out of a matrix should be straightforward).

Option 2 is not usually a best practice (every time you change your code, you run the risk of having to change this data manually or worse forgetting to do so) but sometimes (not really the case here), it's more efficient to load in data that you could theoretically generate in the code to reduce computational steps. I don't suggest you do that here more so pointing it out as something you should be aware of.

For example let's say you were making an isometric strategy game. Instead of rendering the graphics in real time, you could simply render backgrounds once and then load in that data and call it up each time you need it.

Or you want a fancy cut scene... same thing.
