In this tutorial, we are going to solve HackerRank printing pattern using loop problems with practical program code examples and step-by-step solution. in this problem we need to print a pattern of numbers from 1 to n. we need to separate each number by a single space. we need to take a input from user that will be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 1000.
Solution in C programming
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n;
scanf("%d", &n);
int len = n*2 - 1;
for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
for(int j=0;j<len;j++){
int min = i < j ? i : j;
min = min < len-i ? min : len-i-1;
min = min < len-j-1 ? min : len-j-1;
printf("%d ", n-min);
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}Second solution
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n;
scanf("%d", &n);
int len = 2*n-1;
int min1,min2,min;
// Complete the code to print the pattern.
// for rows
for (int i=1; i <=len; i++) {
// for col
for (int j=1; j<=len; j++) {
// min diff btn vertical sides
min1 = i<=len-i ? i -1 : len-i;
// min diff btn horizontal sides
min2 = j<=len-j ? j -1: len-j;
// min diff btn vertical & horizontal sides
min = min1<=min2 ? min1 : min2;
// print
printf("%d ",n-min);
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
