6.1 Code Star Pattern Hint

The document describes a star pattern problem and provides a pseudocode solution. It asks the user to input N, then prints a star pattern with N rows where the number of stars in each row is determined by the formula 2*(i)-1, with i representing the row number. It uses nested for loops, with an outer loop from 1 to N to print each row, and an inner loop from 1 to 2*(i)-1 to print the stars in that row. Spaces are first printed to align the stars properly. An example is shown for N=4.

Star Pattern

Problem Description: ​You are given with an input number N, then you have to print the given
star pattern corresponding to that number N.
For example if N=4
Pattern output : *
***
*****
*******

How to approach?
1. Take N as input from the user.
2. Figure out the number of rows, (which is N here) and run a loop for that.
3. Now, figure out the number of columns in ith row ( i.e. 2*(i)-1)and run a loop for that
within this. Here, first you need to run a loop to print the spaces too.
4. Now, figure out “What to print?” in a particular row, column number. Here we have to
print “*”.

Pseudo code for the given problem:


input=N
i=1
While i is less than equal to N:
spaces=1
While spaces is less than (n-i):
print(‘ ’)
Increment spaces by 1
j=1
While j is less than equal to 2*i-1:
print(“*”)
Increment j by 1
Increment i by 1
Add a new line here

❏ Let us dry run the Code for N=4


● i=1(<=4)
➔ 4-1=3 spaces are getting printed first.
➔ j=1(<=2*1-1), so print ”*”
➔ j=2 (>2*1-1), move out of the inner loop with a new line

● i=2(<=4)
➔ 4-2=2 spaces are getting printed first.
➔ j=1 (<=2*2-1), so print “*”
➔ j=2 (<=2*2-1), so print “*”
➔ j=3 (<=2*2-1), so print “*”
➔ j=4(>2*2-1), move out of the inner loop with a new line

● i=3(<=4)
➔ 4-3=1 space is getting printed first.
➔ j=1(<=2*3-1), so print “*”
➔ j=2(<=2*3-1), so print “*”
➔ j=3(<=2*3-1), so print “*”
➔ j=4(<=2*3-1), so print “*”
➔ j=5(<=2*3-1), so print “*”
➔ j=6(>2*3-1), move out of the inner loop with a new line

● i=4(<=4)
➔ 4-4=0 no space is getting printed.
➔ j=1(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=2(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=3(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=4(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=5(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=6(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=7(<=2*4-1), so print “*”
➔ j=8(>2*4-1), move out of the inner loop with a new line

● i=5(>4), move out of the loop

So , final output:
*
***
*****
*******
