Before I discuss logic to print the given number pattern, I recommend you that have a close look to the pattern carefully for a couple of minutes. The above pattern consists of N rows (where N is the total number of rows to be printed). Each row contains i columns (where i is the current row number). To print the above pattern we will be using an extra variable say k that will keep the value which we need to print.
Step-by-step descriptive logic:

  1. To iterate through rows, run an outer loop from 1 to N.
  2. Inside the outer loop initialize k = i (where k is an extra variable which will hold the number which we need to print next and i is the current row number).
  3. To print the numbers, run an inner loop from 1 to i. Inside this loop print the value of k. Also increment the value of k after printing.

And you are done, lets implement this.

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.
