Code:
i=1 j=1
while ((i <= 5)); do
  while ((j <= i)); do
    print -n $i\ 
	j=$((j + 1))
  done
  print
  i=$((i + 1)) j=1 
done

There is a space after the \ character on the fourth line.

If you get errors with the original code, you should be using a version of ksh different from ksh93. As far as I know ksh88 and pdksh do not support the following syntax:

Code:
for ((expr;expr;expr)) ...

As far as I know, all ksh implementations support the while loop ...

PHP
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
 
for i in {1..5} ; do
j=$i
  while [[ $(( j -= 1 )) -gt -1 ]] ; do
       a=$a$i
    done
echo "$a"
a=""
done

Code:
# ./pyramid
1
22
333
4444
55555

The only ksh implementation that supports the above brace expansion is ksh93 ...

It also supports the for loop syntax mentioned in the original post.

So I suppose that this code will not work for the original poster Smilie
