Must know - Program to print square rectangle number pattern
If you look at the pattern carefully you will notice that for all odd rows 1 is printed and for even rows 0 is printed. Hence, before printing numbers inside inner loop, you need to check even odd condition. If the current row is odd then print 1 otherwise 0.
Below is the step by step descriptive logic to print 1, 0 number pattern at alternate rows.
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.
