I am trying to solve the pattern printing program, but I can't able to print my pattern in reverse order. I know there is some logical error in second for loop but I can't Identify it.
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num = 7;
int temp1 = 1;
int temp2 = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= num / 2; i ) {
for (int j = 1; j <= num - i; j ) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int k = 1; k <= temp1; k ) {
System.out.print(Math.abs(k - temp2));
}
temp1 = 2;
temp2 ;
System.out.println();
}
temp1 = 1;
temp2 = 1;
for (int i = num - (num / 2); i >= 1; i--) {
for (int j = 1; j <= num - i; j ) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int k = temp1; k >= 1; k--) {
System.out.print(Math.abs(k - temp2));
}
temp1 = 2;
temp2 ;
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Program output:

Expected output:

CodePudding user response:
Because the figure you need to print consist of three parts, you have to spit your solution into three separate methods. So it'll be easier to test them.
The top and bottom a very similar. The simplest approach you can take is to reuse the same code for bottom part with only one change: the index of the outer for
is being initialed with a max value and will get decremented at each step of iteration (you get it right, but you've also changed the inner for
loop because your first block of loops is also responsible for printing the middle part).
public static void printTopPart(int size) {
int height = size / 2;
for (int row = 0; row < height; row ) {
// print the white space
for (int i = 0; i < height - row; i ) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
// print the row of numbers
for (int i = 0; i < row * 2 1; i ) {
System.out.print(Math.abs(row - i));
}
System.out.println(); // advance the output to the next row
}
}
public static void printMiddlePart(int size) {
// print the row of numbers
for (int i = 0; i < size; i ) {
System.out.print(Math.abs(size / 2 - i));
}
System.out.println(); // advance the output to the next row
}
public static void printBottomPart(int size) {
int height = size / 2;
for (int row = height - 1; row >= 0; row--) {
// print the white space
for (int i = 0; i < height - row; i ) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
// print the row of numbers
for (int i = 0; i < row * 2 1; i ) {
System.out.print(Math.abs(row - i));
}
System.out.println(); // advance the output to the next row
}
}
