I need to have this written in C programming language.
I have tried this (program below) but it is not compiling correctly.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int i, j;
for(i=5; i>-6; i--)
printf("%2d| ; i);
for(j=0; j<(i*i); j++)
printf("%c" ' ' ');
printf("%c ", '*');
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;

Explanation / Answer

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
   int i, j;
   for(i = 5; i > -6; i--)
   {
      printf("%2d|", i);
      for(j = 0; j < (i*i); j++)
         printf("%c", ' ');
      printf("%c ", '*');
   }

   getchar();
   return 0;
}
