In this tutorial you will learn about the C Program to Print Left Arrow Star Pattern and its application with practical example.
C Program to Print Left Arrow Star Pattern
In this tutorial, we will learn to create a C program that will print a Left Arrow Star Pattern in C programming.
Prerequisites
Before starting with this tutorial, we assume that you are the best aware of the following C programming topics:
- Operators in C Programming.
- Basic Input and Output function in C Programming.
- Basic C programming.
- For loop in C programming.
- Conditional Statements in C programming.
What is a pattern?
The patterns can be any shape or design drawn on the screen i.e. triangle, rectangle, pyramid, any other shape. In the C programming language, the patterns are generated using loops and iterative statements.
What is Printing Left Arrow Star Pattern?
The Left Arrow star pattern means to create a Left Arrow -symbol like a pattern on the screen to the user. For the Left Arrow symbol, using the “*” to draw the pattern
Algorithm:-
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
1. Declaring the required variables for the program. 2. Taking the input number of rows for Left Arrow pattern from the user. 3. Generating the pattern using the nested for loop. 4. Printing the Left Arrow shaped pattern. 5. End the program. |
Program description:-
In today’s tutorial, we will create a program, that will print a Left Arrow Star Pattern using nested for loops. First, we will be taking the size in form of rows from the user. Then we will use nested for loops to create a pattern looking like the Left Arrow symbol. Then we will print the pattern using the printf() function.
Below is an example of Print Left Arrow Star Pattern.
Program Code:-
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 |
#include<stdio.h> int main() { //Declaring the required variable for te program. int i, j, rw; //i,j = it will hold the integer value for the loops. printf("Enter Left Arrow Star Pattern rows = "); //Scanning the rows. scanf("%d", &rw); printf("Left Arrow Star Pattern\n"); //Generating the pattern. for(i = 1; i <= rw; i++) { for(j = 1; j <= rw - i; j++) { printf(" "); } for(j = i; j <= rw; j++) { //Printing the pattern for left arrow. printf("*"); } printf("\n"); } for(i = 1; i <= rw; i++) { for(j = 1; j < i; j++) { printf(" "); } for(j = 1; j <= i; j++) { printf("*"); } printf("\n"); } return 0; } |
Output:-
In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.
- rw = it will hold the integer value.
- j = it will hold the integer value.
- i = it will hold the integer value.
Input the number of rows for the pattern.
