*******
******
*****
****

ok but all the asteriks are alligned on the right side, like a right triangle.
so far i have this
public class exercise5c{

public static void main(String args[])
{

for(int row=1;row<=10;row++)

{
for (int ast=1;ast<=row;ast++)
System.out.print(' ');
System.out.print('*');
System.out.println();


}

System.exit(0);


}
}

and that produces this but diagonal to the right and down.

Your program is doing exactly what it was told to do.

Try it without the following line:

System.out.print (" ");

or, if you need to keep the space:

System.out.print ("* ");
