ALGOL 68

<lang Algol> main:(

 INT max = 12;
 STRING empty cell = "    ";
 FORMAT fmt = $zz-d$;
 print("   x");
 FOR col TO max DO printf((fmt, col)) OD;
 print (new line);
 FOR row TO max DO
   printf((fmt,row));
   FOR col FROM 1 TO row-1 DO print(empty cell) OD;
   [row:max]INT product;
   FOR col FROM row TO max DO product[col]:=row*col OD;
   printf((fmt, product, $l$))
 OD

) </lang> Output:
