📘 Explanation

The above pattern is very much similar to the previous pattern we just printed. We only need to add logic to print trailing spaces that should be printed before the number gets printed.
If you hover your mouse on to the pattern you can see or count total spaces per row and can also think of logic to print the spaces. If you can notice, there are exactly?N - i?spaces per row (where?N?is the total number of rows to be printed and?i?is the current row number.
The step-by-step descriptive logic to print spaces is:

  1. To print spaces, run an inner loop from 1 to?N - i. Inside this loop print single blank space.

Lets now code this.

📚 Learning Subject

Master Programming Through Practical Examples

Improve your coding logic, problem-solving skills and programming confidence by practicing real-world examples with explanations.

🎯 How to learn from this example

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.

🔥 Practice suggestion

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.
