c program to print patterns of numbers and stars

These program prints various different patterns of numbers and stars. These codes illustrate how to create various patterns using c programming. Most of these c programs involve usage of nested loops and space. A pattern of numbers, star or characters is a way of arranging these in some logical manner or they may form a sequence. Some of these patterns are triangles which have special importance in mathematics. Some patterns are symmetrical while other are not. Please see the complete page and look at comments for many different patterns.
* *** ***** ******* *********

We have shown five rows above, in the program you will be asked to enter the numbers of rows you want to print in the pyramid of stars.

C code
#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> main() { int row, c, n, temp; printf("Enter the number of rows in pyramid of stars you wish to see " scanf("%d",&n); temp = n; for ( row = 1 ; row <= n ; row++ ) { for ( c = 1 ; c < temp ; c++ ) printf(" "); temp--;

for ( c = 1 ; c <= 2*row - 1 ; c++ ) printf("*"); printf("\n"); } getch(); return 0; }

Output:

Consider the pattern * ** *** **** ***** to print above pattern see the code below:
#include<stdio.h> main() { int n, c, k; printf("Enter number of rows\n"); scanf("%d",&n); for ( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ ) { for( k = 1 ; k <= c ; k++ ) printf("*"); printf("\n"); } return 0; }

#20 Guest : Doubt

In the program, instead of the statement space=2*k-1; , can we go for the statement, space+=2; ? 22/08/2011 - 09:47

You can use but don't forget to initialize variable space to one. 22/08/2011 - 13:01

#38 Guest : Thanks giving and suggestion

Thanks for the pyramid program!! Please help me in the same problem. Can't we directly print k directly instead of number(in 2nd inner for loop)? I have tried it but output gives garbage values!!why does this happen? Please help me! 08/08/2011 - 22:02

#39 adminPs : number pattern code

You are right there is no need to use variable number you can use k directly as in code below:
#include<stdio.h> main() { int n, c, k; printf("Enter number of rows\n"); scanf("%d",&n); for ( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ ) { for( k = 1 ; k <= c ; k++ ) printf("%d ", k); printf("\n"); }
