The logic to print mirrored parallelogram star pattern is same as of mirrored rhombus star pattern. The only change we need to make is we need to iterate through M rows and N columns (where M is the total number of rows to print and N is a total number of columns to print).

Program Code

/*
 * C program to print mirrored parallelogram star pattern series
 */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i, j, M, N;

    /* Input number of rows and columns */
    printf("Enter rows: ");
    scanf("%d", &M);
    printf("Enter columns: ");
    scanf("%d", &N);


    for(i=1; i<=M; i++)
    {
        /* Print trailing spaces */
        for(j=1; j<i; j++)
        {
            printf(" ");
        }

        for(j=1; j<=N; j++)
        {
            printf("*");
        }

        printf("\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Output

Enter rows: 6
Enter columns: 7

Logic to print mirrored parallelogram star pattern is same as of mirrored rhombus star pattern. The only change we need to make is we need to iterate though M rows and N columns (where M is the total number of rows to print and N is total number of columns to print).

How to learn from this program

First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
