Consider that

(j<5-i)?printf("*"):printf(" ");

is same as

if ( j < 5-i)
    printf("*");
else
    printf(" ");

int main()

            (j<5-i)?printf("*"):printf(" ");
        printf("\n");

    for(i=0;i<5;i++)
        printf("\n");

    k=9;

    for(i=0;i<7;i++)
    {
        (i<4)?k--:k++; // k is the variable I'm taking, responsible for gradual increment in star numbers, then decrement

        printf("                             ");
