Mastering Pattern Programs in C Programming

Introduction of c Programming Patterns:
A fascinating introduction to c programming logic and aesthetics is provided by pattern programs. These programs bring life to the console by generating beautiful patterns that change from basic shapes to complex symmetrical masterpieces, all created through the manipulation of loops and conditional statements. This blog post takes you on a fascinating tour through the fascinating realm of C programming language pattern programs.

Importance of Pattern Programs:

  1. Pattern programs are a great resource for strengthening fundamental programming principles and problem-solving abilities.
  2. They offer an accessible way to comprehend conditional expressions, loop structures, and algorithmic designโ€™s iterative process.
  3. Being proficient with pattern programming encourages programmers to approach complex issues critically and analytically, which stimulates creativity and inventiveness.

Examples-

1. Square Pattern in c Programming:

#include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
        int n = 5, c = 5;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < c; j++) {
                printf("* ");
            }
            printf("\n");
        }
        return 0;
    }

/*
Output :

* * * * * 
* * * * * 
* * * * * 
* * * * * 
* * * * *

2. Triangle Pattern in c Programming:

#include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
        int n = 5;
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
                printf("* ");
            }
            printf("\n");
        }
        return 0;
    }

/*

Output :
*

3. Hourglass Pattern in c Programming:

#include <stdio.h> 
int main() 
{ 
    int n = 5,i,j,k; 
  int c;
    // this loops for rows
    for ( i = 0; i < 2 * n - 1; i++)
 {                 
        if (i < n)
        { 
            c = 2 * i + 1; 
        } 
        else { 
            c = 2 * (2 * n - i) - 3; 
        } 

        for (j = 0; j < c; j++) { 
            printf(" ");         // print leading spaces 

        } 

           for (k = 0; k < 2 * n - c; k++) 
          { 
            printf("* ");  // print star * 

          } 
        printf("\n"); 
    } 
    return 0; 
}

/*

Output:

* * * * * * * * * 
   * * * * * * * 
     * * * * * 
       * * * 
         * 
       * * * 
     * * * * * 
   * * * * * * * 
 * * * * * * * * *

4. Half Diamond in c Programming:

#include <stdio.h>  

int main()  
{  
    int n,m=1; 
    int i,j;
    printf("Enter the number of columns : ");  
    scanf("%d",&n);  
for( i=1;i<=n;i++)  
{  
  for( j=1;j<=i;j++)  
  {  
    printf("* ");  
  }  
  printf("\n");  
}  
i=0;
j=0;
 for( i=n-1;i>=1;i--)  
 {  
   for( j=1;j<=i;j++)  
   {  
     printf("* ");  
   }  
   printf("\n");  
 }
