C program to print hollow mirrored inverted right triangle star pattern

C program to print hollow mirrored inverted right triangle star pattern

In this article, I will show you, How to write a C program to print hollow mirrored inverted right triangle star pattern. How to print hollow mirrored reversed right triangle star pattern of n rows using for loop in C programming. Here, one thing is important to know that the rows of the triangle.

Logic to write C program to print hollow mirrored inverted right triangle star pattern:

It is very easy to print hollow mirrored reversed right triangle star pattern in C, below I have mentioned a few steps to print hollow reversed mirrored triangle pattern in C:

  • Enter the row value for the right triangle.
  • Here I have used three loops one is the outer loop to change the line and two inner loops to print star and space.
  • The outer loop iterate row times and print a newline after completing the inner loop.
  • If you will look at the design carefully,  then star available on the first or last column or first and the last row.
  • To print the space inner loop iterate 1 to x times.
  • Second inner loop print star for first or last column or first and last row otherwise print space.

See the, C program to print hollow mirrored right triangle star pattern:

 

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int x = 0,y = 0;
    unsigned int rows = 0;

    printf("Enter the number of rows = ");
    scanf("%u",&rows);

    for(x=1; x<=rows; ++x)
    {
        // Print spaces
        for(y=1; y<x; ++y)
        {
            printf(" ");
        }
        for(y=x; y<=rows; ++y)
        {
            if((x==1) || (y==x) || (y==rows))
            {
                //Print star
                printf("*");
            }
            else
            {
                //Print space
                printf(" ");
            }
        }
        // Print new line
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Output:

print hollow mirrored inverted right triangle star pattern

Code Analysis:

It asks the user to enter the row for the triangle.

printf("Enter the number of rows = ");
scanf("%u",&rows);

 

Each row contains (x-1) space. So to print the space inner loop iterate 1 to x times.

// Print spaces
for(y=1; y<x; ++y)
{
    printf(" ");
}

 

Second inner loop print star for first or last column or last row otherwise print space.

for(y=x; y<=rows; ++y)
 {
     if((x==1) || (y==x) || (y==rows))
     {
         //Print star
         printf("*");
     }
     else
     {
         //Print space
         printf(" ");
     }
 }

 

The outer loop print the newline after each iteration of the inner loops.
