 * C program to print number pattern
 */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i, j, k, N;

    printf("Enter N: ");
    scanf("%d", &N);

    for(i=N; i>=1; i--)
    {
        k = i;

        // Logic to print spaces
        for(j=i; j < N; j++)
        {
            printf(" ");
        }

        // Logic to print numbers
        for(j=1; j <= i; j++, k++)

The logic to print the above pattern is almost similar to the pattern we just printed. In this pattern we only need to add logic of printing spaces just before number gets printed. There are N - i spaces per row (where i is the current row number). If you want to see or count spaces, you can hover on to the pattern.
Step-by-step descriptive logic:

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

How to learn from this program

First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
