write-your-own-pattern-programsThis post contains the answers to the questions in the post  http://www.intechgrity.com/understanding-and-writing-pattern-programs-in-ccpp/. I have worked out three different techniques to solve the pattern programs which are both simple and easy. It is advisable to check out all the three techniques to find out the one that is suitable for you. You can solve all the further problems using any of the techniques.

: Pattern 1

n=3

: Answer

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(){
 int n,i,j,k,l;
 printf("Enter the no of lines: ");
 scanf("%d",&n);
 for(i=0;i<n;i++){
 for(j=0;j<=n-i-2;j++){
 printf(" ");
 }
 for(k=0;k<=i;k++){
 printf("%d",k+1);
 }
 for(l=i-1;l>=0;l--){
 printf("%d",l+1);
 }
 printf("\n");
 }
 for(i=0;i<=n-2;i++){
 for(j=0;j<=i;j++){
 printf(" ");
 }
 for(k=0;k<=n-i-2;k++){
 printf("%d",k+1);
 }
 for(l=n-i-3;l>=0;l--){
 printf("%d",l+1);
 }
 printf("\n");
 }
 getch();
 return 0;
}

: Pattern 2

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(){
 int n,i,j,k,l;
 printf("Enter the no of lines: ");
 scanf("%d",&n);
 for (i = 1; i <= n; i++){
 for (j = n; j >= i; j--){
 printf("%d", j);
 }
 for (k = 0; k < 2 * (i - 1); k++){
 printf(" ");
 }
 for (l = i; l <= n; l++){
 printf("%d", l);
 }
 printf("\n");
 }
 for (i = n; i >= 1; i--){
 for (j = n; j >= i; j--){
 printf("%d", j);
 }
 for (k = 0; k < 2 * (i - 1); k++){
 printf(" ");
 }
 for (l = i; l <= n; l++){
 printf("%d",l);
 }
 printf("\n");
 }
 getch();
 return 0;
}

: Answer

#include<stdio.h>
 #include<conio.h>
 void func(int i, int j, int n){
 for (j = 0; j < i / 2 + 1; j++)
 printf("%d", i);
 for (j = 0; j < 2 * n - i - 1; j++)
 printf(" ");
 for (j = 0; j < i / 2 + 1; j++)
 printf("%d", i);
 printf("\n");
 }
 int main(){
 int n, i, j;
 printf("Enter the number of lines: ");
 scanf("%d", &n);
 for (i = 1; i <= 2 * n - 1; i = i + 2)
 func(i, j, n);
 for (i = 2 * n - 3; i >= 1; i = i - 2)
 func(i, j, n);
 getch();
 return 0;
 }

        I am beginner in c…and I don’t get the concept of pattern programming.. it is fine till two for loops(I,j) but the third and the fourth are really confusing…please help

  3. Pranav

    Bro if u can explain me pattern 2 in which there are spaces and the value of j in easy steps

    • kush

      use the solution to pattern 1on this page ,replace the ” ” and “*”

  7. suneel

    can u guide me the below pattern

    This pattern program in 5 loops……. please check this and comment.
    #include

    int main()
    {
    int i,j,k,n;
    printf(“ENter your input”);
    scanf(“%d”,&n);
    for(i=1;i<=(2*n)-1;i++)
    {
    //j=2*n-1;
    if(i<=n)
    {
    for(k=1;k=2*i-1;j–)
    {
    printf(“*”);

    }

    }
    else
    {
    for(k=2*n-1;k>i;k–)
    {
    printf(” “);
    }
    for(j=(2*n)-1;j<=2*i-1;j++)
    {
    printf("*");
    }
    }

    printf("\n");

    }
    return 0;
    }
