Pattern Program Concept

Let us suppose we have to draw a pattern like this-

***1***
**121**
*12321*
1234321


Whatever be the pattern the method remains same.
Let us take an even complex pattern -

1

  121

 12321

1234321

 12321

  121

   1




All patterns can be grouped into number of triangles as shown above.


For

***1***
**121**
*12321*
1234321    pattern we have 4 sub triangles

1.

***
**
*

2.

      1
    12
  123
1234


3.


1
21
321

4.

***
**
*


We will write a master for loop for 4 times i.e equal to the number of rows we have to print and insite that we will run for loops 4 times for each triangle.

If the pyramid becomes inverted after half then we will have to have 2 mater for loops.



#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++)  //for 4 horizontal lines
{

        for (int j = 4; j-i > 0; j--)   //as we go down we have to print one star lesser
printf("*");

       for (int k = 1; k <= i; k++)  //as we go down we have to print one more digit in increasing order
printf("%d", k);

for (int m = i; m > 1; m--) /*except for first line we have to print one digit less than the line number */'
printf("%d", m-1);

for (int l = 4; l - i >= 1; l--)
printf("*");

printf("\n");

}

return 0;

}
