The above pattern is similar to?right triangle star pattern?with leading spaces.
Leading spaces in the above pattern are in decreasing order i.e. first row contains?n-1?space, second contains?n-2?space and so on. Point your mouse cursor over the pattern to count total spaces per row.
Step by step descriptive logic to print mirrored right triangle star pattern.
for(i=1; i<=rows; i++).for(j=i;j<=rows;j++). Inside this loop print single space.for(j=1; j<=i; j++)./* * C program to print right triangle star pattern series * atnyla.com */ #include int main() { int i, j, n; /* Input number of rows from user */ printf("Enter value of n: "); scanf("%d", &n); for(i=1; i <= n; i++) { /* Print i number of stars */ for(j=1; j <= n; j++) { if( j >= n+1-i ) printf("*"); else printf(" "); } /* Move to next line */ printf("\n"); } return 0; }
First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
