📘 Explanation

Logic to print the given number pattern

If you are done with first pattern, then logic to this wouldn't be much difficult to get. This pattern is almost similar to the previous pattern we just printed, except trailing spaces before the number. Hence, logic to print the pattern will be same as the first pattern, we only need to add the logic of printing spaces. You can hover your mouse cursor to the pattern to see or count the number of space. The pattern consists of i - 1 spaces per row (where i is the current row number). Note that in the given pattern we have assumed that row numbers are ordered descending from N-1.
Step-by-step descriptive logic to print spaces:

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

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.
