In this tutorial you will learn about the C program to Print Sandglass Number Pattern and its application with practical example.
C program to Print Sandglass Number Pattern
In this tutorial, we will learn to create a C program that will Print Sandglass Number Pattern in C programming
Prerequisites
Before starting with this tutorial we assume that you are 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 Sandglass?
It is a sand clock for measuring time. This clock uses sand that flows from one part to another at a specific time.

1. Declaring the required variables for the program. 2. Taking the input number of rows from the user. 3. Generating the pattern using the nested for loop. 4. Printing the sandglass number pattern. 5. End the program. |
Program description Printing Sandglass Number Pattern:-
In this program, we will first take the input number of rows by the user. Then we will generate the sandglass pattern using the for loops and fill it with numerical values. Printing the pattern filled with numbers.
Let’s take the below example for the problem.
Program Code:-

#include <stdio.h> int main() { //declaring the required variables for the program int i, j, k, rw; //i = it will hold the integer value to control the loop. //j = it will hold the integer value to control the loop. //k = it will hold the integer value to control the loop. //rw = it will hold the number of rows. //Taking the input from the user number of rows printf("Enter Sandglass Number Pattern rows = "); scanf("%d",&rw); //Generating the pattern of sandglass. printf("The Sandglass Number Pattern\n"); for (i = 1 ; i <= rw; i++ ) { for (j = 1; j < i; j++ ) { printf(" "); } for (k = i; k <= rw; k++ ) { //printing the numbers in the pattern printf("%d ", k); } printf("\n"); } for (i = rw - 1; i >= 1; i-- ) { for (j = 1; j < i; j++ ) { printf(" "); } for (k = i; k <= rw; k++ ) { //printing the numbers in the pattern printf("%d ", k); } printf("\n"); } return 0; } |
Output:-
In the above program, we have Last initialized the required variable.
- rw = it will hold the integer value.
- k = 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.
