Basic C programming, LoopLogic to print the given pattern
Before you get into this pattern it is highly recommended that you must learn some basic of number pattern printing.Once you get acquainted with basics number pattern printing, take a minute and have a close eye on this pattern. If you can notice you might divide this entire pattern in two patterns. Let me show. After looking on both patterns separately I assume that you can easily decode the logic of these two patterns and can combine in single logic. If not here's what you need to do.
- Run an outer loop from 1 to columns (where columns is the total columns to be printed).
- To print the first part, run an inner loop from current row to columns. Inside this loop print the current column number.
- To print the second part, run another inner loop from current row-1 to 1. Inside this loop again print the current column number.
Program to print the given pattern
/**
* C program to print number pattern
*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int rows, cols, i, j;
/*
* Reads number of rows, columns to be printed
*/
printf("Enter number of rows: ");
scanf("%d", &rows);
printf("Enter number of columns: ");
scanf("%d", &cols);
for(i=1; i<=rows; i++)
{
for(j=i; j<=cols; j++)
{
printf("%d", j);
}
for(j=i-1; j>=1; j--)
{
printf("%d", j);
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output
Enter number of rows: 5
Enter number of columns: 5
12345
23451
34521
45321
54321
Enter number of columns: 5
12345
23451
34521
45321
