To get the logic of above pattern have a look to the pattern carefully for a couple of minutes. The pattern consists of N rows (where N is the total number of rows to be printed). Each row contains exactly N - i + 1 columns (where i is the current row number).
Step-by-step descriptive logic:
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.
