To understand the logic of given pattern, I recommend you to have a careful look of the pattern for a minute. Now talking about the pattern, there are N number of rows (where N is given by user). Each row contains exactly N - i + 1 number of columns (where i is the current row number). And for each row in each column the value of j gets printed (where j is the current column number).
The step-by-step descriptive logic of the given pattern:

  1. To iterate through rows, start an outer loop from 1 to N.
  2. To print the numbers, start an inner loop from 1 to N - i + 1. Inside this loop print the value of j.

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.
