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 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.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
