C Program to Print Pyramid Pattern

In the world of C programming understanding and implementing patterns can be both educational and enjoyable. One such pattern is the pyramid pattern. In this article, we are going to write a C program to print a pyramid pattern of n numbers of rows.

Logic Behind Pyramid Pattern

Before writing the code, Let’s understand the fundamental logic behind the printing pyramid pattern. The key concept revolves around nested loops- an inner loop for spaces and another for printing the pattern(*). The number of iterations in each loop determines the size and shape of a pyramid. The outer loop controls the number of rows(n) and the inner loop prints the spaces and symbols.

C Program for Pyramid Pattern

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
    int n;
    printf("Enter the value of n");
    scanf("%d", &n);
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    {
        // printing spaces
        for (int space = 1; space <= n - i; space++)
        {
            printf(" ");
        }
        // printing *
        for (int j = 1; j <= 2 * i - 1; j++)
        {
            printf("*");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

Output

Happy Coding
