📘 Explanation

The logic to print the given number pattern

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:

  1. To print spaces, run an inner loop from 1 to i - 1 (where i is the current row number). 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.
