The above pattern is similar to the pattern we just printed except the trailing spaces. The logic of this pattern would be similar as previous pattern we did, we only need to add logic to print trailing spaces before printing numbers. There are i - 1 spaces per row (where i is the current row number). To see or count total spaces per row you can hover mouse pointer to the pattern above.
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.
