Displaying a pyramid of number ladder - java

I did this below but I didn't get it right,
int i = 1;
while(i <= 6){
for(int j = 1;j <= 6-i;j++){
System.out.print(" ");
}
for(int m = 1; m <= i; m++){
System.out.print(m + " ");
}
i++;
System.out.println();
}
I got this instead :
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
But I need guide on how to get this below,
1
2 1 2
3 2 1 2 3
4 3 2 1 2 3 4
5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5

while(i <= 6){
for(int j = 1; j <= 6 - i; j++){
System.out.print(" ");
}
for(int m = i-1; m > 1; m--){
System.out.print(m + " ");
}
for(int m = 1; m < i; m++){
System.out.print(m + " ");
}
i++;
System.out.println();
}
This should work for you, i just added / edited this part:
for(int m = i-1; m > 1; m--){
System.out.print(m + " ");
}
for(int m = 1; m < i; m++){
System.out.print(m + " ");
}
To let it count down again, and let it count up afterwards

This should do the trick, but it's important to understand what is going on:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 0; i <= 6; i++) {
printRow(6, i);
}
}
public static void printRow(int highestValue, int rowValue) {
for (int i = 0; i < (highestValue - rowValue); i++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int i = rowValue; i >= 1; i--) {
System.out.print(i + " ");
}
for (int i = 2; i <= rowValue; i++) {
System.out.print(i + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
The first loop pads the left side of the pyramid, as you have already done. The second loop counts down from the value of the row to 1, which is the center of the pyramid. The third loop counts back up from 2 to the value of the row. Note that for the first row, 2 will not be printed, because i = 2 is greater than rowValue, which is 1, so the loop is skipped.
Running this results in the following:
1
2 1 2
3 2 1 2 3
4 3 2 1 2 3 4
5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5
6 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 6
Note that a row starting with 6 is printed since I used the bounds you provided. If this is not what should be done (from your example output), I will leave that up to you on how to fix this. Pay attention to the name of the arguments in the printRow method to see why there is an extra row printed.

There you have my solution, little smarty solution with using absolute value, with notes why is what where
public static void printPyramid(int rows) {
// row counter
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
// padding- size = rows - i
for (int j = 1; j <= rows - i; j++) {
// 2 spaces - char + space
System.out.print(" ");
}
// print numbers
for (int j = -i; j <= i; j++) {
// we want only once 1, and skip print zero
if (j == 0 || j == 1) {
continue;
}
// print absolute value
System.out.print(Math.abs(j) + " ");
}
// new row- println same as print("\n");
System.out.println();
}
}
With 6 rows, output is
1
2 1 2
3 2 1 2 3
4 3 2 1 2 3 4
5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5
6 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 6

Let's break this down into parts. First we need to figure out how to output a single level of the pyramid. Let's start without padding. For the first level it's just "1", for every other level it's the level above it surrounded by the "number" of that level (and the spaces).
private static String buildLevel(int num) {
if (num == 1) return "1";
return Integer.toString(num) + " " + buildLevel(num -1) + " " + Integer.toString(num);
}
We then need to be able to add the padding, so let's create a method that pads to a certain length.
private static String pad(String stringToPad, int padTo) {
return String.join("", Collections.nCopies(padTo - stringToPad.length(), " ")) + stringToPad;
}
Putting this together we can create a method to build a pyramid by looping over the needed levels and concatenating the levels together.
private static String buildPyramid(int height) {
int expectedLength = height * 2 + 1;
String out = "";
for (int i = 1; i <= height; i++) {
out += pad(buildLevel(i), expectedLength) + "\n";
expectedLength += 2;
}
return out;
}
The length of the first line is the height * 2 + 1, derived by counting. (This includes two spaces at the beginning of each line, which is in your examples). Each subsequent line should be 2 longer than the one above it.
Call it like this to produce your example
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(buildPyramid(5));
}
Outputs:
1
2 1 2
3 2 1 2 3
4 3 2 1 2 3 4
5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5
For completeness, here is all the code in one block.
private static String buildLevel(int num) {
if (num == 1) return "1";
return Integer.toString(num) + " " + buildLevel(num -1) + " " + Integer.toString(num);
}
private static String pad(String stringToPad, int padTo) {
return String.join("", Collections.nCopies(padTo - stringToPad.length(), " ")) + stringToPad;
}
private static String buildPyramid(int height) {
int expectedLength = height * 2 + 1;
String out = "";
for (int i = 1; i <= height; i++) {
out += pad(buildLevel(i), expectedLength) + "\n";
expectedLength += 2;
}
return out;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(buildPyramid(6));
}

Invert incrementing triangle pattern

I am writing some code that creates a incrementing number right angle triangle that looks something like this:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
I am unsure on how to make my code output a triangle to that shape as my code outputs the same thing except inverted.
This is the code I have:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int rows = 6;
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
for (int j = 1; j <= i; ++j) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
My speculation is that instead of incrementing some of the values I would decrement them however the code would run infinite garbage values and not what I wanted.
It is needed to print some spaces before printing the numbers in each row, and the number of spaces should be decreasing depending on the row:
int rows = 6;
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
for (int j = rows - i; j >= 1; j--) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int j = 1; j <= i; ++j) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
This prefix may be build using String::join + Collections::nCopies:
System.out.print(String.join("", Collections.nCopies(rows - i, " ")));
Or since Java 11, this prefix may be replaced using String::repeat:
System.out.print(" ".repeat(rows - i));
Instead of two nested for loops, you can use a single while loop with two incrementing variables. The number of iterations stays the same.
int n = 7, i = 0, j = 0;
while (i < n) {
// element
if (i + j >= n - 1) {
// print an element
System.out.print(i + j + 2 - n);
} else {
// print a whitespace
System.out.print(" ");
}
// suffix
if (j < n - 1) {
// print a delimiter
System.out.print(" ");
j++;
} else {
// print a new line
System.out.println();
j = 0;
i++;
}
}
Output:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Your approach is almost correct - use two nested for loops, all that remains is to add one if else statement and calculate the sum of coordinates i and j.
Try it online!
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = 6;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
System.out.print(" ");
int sum = i + j;
if (sum > n)
System.out.print(sum - n);
else
System.out.print(" ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
Output:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
See also: Printing a squares triangle. How to mirror numbers?
You can print an inverted triangle using two nested for-loops as follows:
// the number of rows and the
// number of elements in each row
int n = 6;
// iterating over rows with elements
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// iterating over elements in a row
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
// element
if (i + j >= n - 1) {
// print an element
System.out.print(i + j + 2 - n);
} else {
// print a whitespace
System.out.print(" ");
}
// suffix
if (j < n - 1) {
// print a delimiter
System.out.print(" ");
} else {
// print a new line
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Output:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
See also: How to draw a staircase with Java?
You have to print spaces before printing the numbers to make the triangle look inverted, the number of spaces depends on the amount of numbers you skip which are rows-i, so you can loop from i to rows and print space in each iteration.
int rows = 6;
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
for (int j = i; j < rows; j++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int j = 1; j <= i; ++j) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
Output:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
You can use the property that for the row containing i as the greatest number of the row the number of the spaces can be calculated as 2*(rows-i). You can rewrite your program like below:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int rows = 6;
for (int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
for (int nspaces = 0; nspaces < 2 * (rows - i); ++nspaces) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int j = i; j > 0; --j) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Output:
1
2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2 1
5 4 3 2 1
6 5 4 3 2 1

Java: Having trouble printing out this pyramid-like reversed number pattern

I need to know how to print out the following pattern:
5
4 5
3 4 5
2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5
3 4 5
4 5
5
Any and all help is appreciated.
What i have so far is this:
for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print(j+" ");
}
System.out.println();
}
for (int i = num-1; i >= 1; i--)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print(j+" ");
}
System.out.println();
}
and it outputs this:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2
1
So I have the structure of the pattern itself understood, but it seems that I need to reverse the flow somehow. This is what I do not understand.
Change the loop conditions as shown below:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num = 5;
for (int i = num; i >= 1; i--) {// Start with num and go downwards up to 1
for (int j = i; j <= num; j++) {// Start with i and go upwards up to num
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
for (int i = 2; i <= num; i++) {// Start with 2 and go downwards up to num
for (int j = i; j <= num; j++) {// Start with i and go downwards up to num
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Output:
5
4 5
3 4 5
2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5
3 4 5
4 5
5
Accepted answer not output the corrent pattern so... this code works.
Ther are two loops, each one iterate line by line. First from 5 to 1, the second one from 2 to 5.
In every iteration (every line) will print next to the first number the following numbers.
int num = 5;
for(int i = num ; i > 0 ; i--){
System.out.print(i+" "); //Print the first number of the line
for(int j = 1; j <= num-i; j++){
//Print as extra number as line need (first line = 0 extra numbers,
//second line = 1 extra number...)
System.out.print((i+j)+" ");
}
System.out.println(); //New line
}
for (int i = 2; i <= num; i++) { //Print second part starting by 2
for (int j = i; j <= num; j++) { //Print extra numbers
System.out.print(j+" ");
}
System.out.println(); //New line
}
And the output is as expected:
5
4 5
3 4 5
2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5
3 4 5
4 5

Drawing numeric diamond

I need to draw a numeric diamond, for example with a height of 9:
1
222
33333
4444444
555555555
4444444
33333
222

I wrote the code and I managed to get the same diamond, but with stars. I want it with these numbers. How can I do that? Here is what I have done so far:
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i += 2) {
for (int j = 0; j < 9 - i / 2; j++)
System.out.print(" ");
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
System.out.print("a");
System.out.print("\n");
}
for (int i = 7; i > 0; i -= 2) {
for (int j = 0; j < 9 - i / 2; j++)
System.out.print(" ");
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
System.out.print("b");
System.out.print("\n");
}
Regarding your code:
System.out.print("\n"); should be replaced by System.out.println().
You should a dynamic height instead of hard-coding 9.
It prints the correct pattern, only what is printed is wrong: instead of printing "a" and "b", you should print the index of the loop and see what you can get from there. This is #Tsung-Ting Kuo solution.
You can do it with fewer loops and a more understandable in my view. Consider the following algorithm:
For each row of the pattern (so the row goes from 0 to height excluded)
For each column of the pattern (so the column goes from 0 to height excluded)
We need to print a space when we are in the upper-right, upper-left, lower-right or lower-left of the diagram.
Upper-left: This is when the column is less than height/2-row-1
Lower-left: This is when the column is less than row-height/2
Factoring these two expressions in a single one, this is when the column is less than height/2 - min where min = Math.min(row+1, height-row).
Upper-right: This is when the column is greater than height/2+row+1
Lower-right: This is when the column is greater than height/2+height-row
Factoring these two expressions in a single one, this is when the column is greater than height/2 + min where min = Math.min(row+1, height-row).
Otherwise, we need to print Math.min(row+1, height-row).
Turning into code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int height = 9;
for (int row = 0; row < height; row++) {
for (int column = 0; column < height; column++) {
int min = Math.min(row+1, height-row);
if (column <= height / 2 - min || column >= height / 2 + min) {
System.out.print(" ");
} else {
System.out.print(min);
}
}
System.out.println();
}
}
Sample output:

33333
4444444
555555555
4444444

java-11
Using String#repeat introduced as part of Java-11, you can do it using a single loop.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int MID_ROW_NUM = 5;
for (int i = 1 - MID_ROW_NUM; i < MID_ROW_NUM; i++) {
int x = Math.abs(i);
System.out.println(" ".repeat(x) + String.valueOf(MID_ROW_NUM - x).repeat((MID_ROW_NUM - x) * 2 - 1));
}
}
}
Output:
1
222
33333
4444444
555555555
4444444
33333

You can print a variant of the diamond simply by increasing the amount of space by one character:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int MID_ROW_NUM = 5;
for (int i = 1 - MID_ROW_NUM; i < MID_ROW_NUM; i++) {
int x = Math.abs(i);
System.out.println(" ".repeat(x) + ((MID_ROW_NUM - x) + " ").repeat((MID_ROW_NUM - x) * 2 - 1));
}
}
}
Output:
1
2 2 2
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
4 4 4 4 4 4 4

Please try the following code (I have tested it), only change two print:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i += 2) {
for (int j = 0; j < 9 - i / 2; j++)
System.out.print(" ");
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
System.out.print(i/2+1); // Change here
System.out.print("\n");
}
for (int i = 7; i > 0; i -= 2) {
for (int j = 0; j < 9 - i / 2; j++)
System.out.print(" ");
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
System.out.print(i/2+1); // Change here
System.out.print("\n");
}
}
Output:

33333

555555555

You can draw a numeric rhombus using IntStream as follows:
int m = 5;
int n = 5;
String[][] arr = IntStream
.rangeClosed(-m, m)
.map(Math::abs)
.mapToObj(i -> IntStream
.rangeClosed(-n, n)
.map(Math::abs)
.mapToObj(j -> i + j > Math.max(m, n) ? " " : "" + (m - i))
.toArray(String[]::new))
.toArray(String[][]::new);
// formatted output
Arrays.stream(arr).map(row -> String.join(" ", row)).forEach(System.out::println);

number pattern program wont add anymore outputs?

I'm supposed to have four patterns in a single program but the program won't output anything past my 2nd for statement. Can someone take a look at this please? Line RIGHT after Pattern C is where it stops outputting.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Patterns
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a positive maximum integer value: ");
int max = input.nextInt();
//1st Pattern
System.out.println("\nPattern A: ");
for (int i = 1; i <= max; i++){
for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++){
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
//2nd Pattern
System.out.println("\nPattern B:");
for (int i = -5; i <= max; i++, max--){
for (int j = 1; j <= max; j++){
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
// 3rd pattern and WHERE PROBLEM STARTS!!
System.out.println("\nPattern C:");
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++){
for (int j = i; j < 0; j++){
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Are my loops nested improperly?
My program asks the user for a max integer and makes a program based on that
here are some sample outputs
Enter a positive maximum integer value: 6
Pattern A:
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
Pattern B:
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2

Pattern C:
1
2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2 1
5 4 3 2 1
6 5 4 3 2 1
Pattern D:
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2

for (int i = 0; i < max; i++){
for (int j = i; j < 0; j++){
i and j both start off at 0. 0 can never be less than 0, so your j loop will never execute.
The other issue is that you're reusing the max variable after Pattern B has altered the value of it. You should copy the value of max into a variable that you can modify within the pattern without affecting the original.
For Pattern C, the loop is not executing because of your conditional and the fact that you've altered max.
Swap B and C with this.
//2nd Pattern
System.out.println("\nPattern B:");
int patternBMax = max;
for (int i = -5; i <= patternBMax; i++, patternBMax--)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= patternBMax; j++)
{
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
// 3rd pattern and WHERE PROBLEM STARTS!!
System.out.println("\nPattern C:");
int patternCMax = max;
for (int i = 1; i <= patternCMax; i++)
{
// Pad the output with the necessary whitespace
for (int j = 0; j < patternCMax - i; j++)
{
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int k = i; k > 0; k--)
{
System.out.print(k + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
and you should get this
Pattern B:
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2

Pattern C:

4 3 2 1
5 4 3 2 1

Printing all Possible nCr Combinations in Java

I'm trying to print out all possibilities of nCr, which are the combinations when order doesn't matter. So 5C1 there are 5 possibilities: 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5. 5C2 there are 10 possibilities: 1 2, 1 3, 1 4, 1 5, 2 3, 2 4, 2 5, 3 4, 3 5, 4 5.
I made functions that print what I want for r = 2, r = 3, and r = 4, and I sort of see the pattern, but I cant seem to make a working method for variable r:
public void printCombinationsChoose2(int n, int k) //for when k = 2
{
for (int a = 1; a < n; a++)
{
for (int b = a + 1; b <= n; b++)
{
System.out.println("" + a + " " + b);
}
}
}
public void printCombinationsChoose3(int n, int k) //for when k = 3
{
for (int a = 1; a < n - 1; a++)
{
for (int b = a + 1; b < n; b++)
{
for (int c = b + 1; c <= n; c++)
{
System.out.println("" + a + " " + b + " " + c);
}
}

public void printCombinationsChoose4(int n, int k) //for when k = 4
{
for (int a = 1; a < n - 2; a++)
{
for (int b = a + 1; b < n - 1; b++)
{
for (int c = b + 1; c < n; c++)
{
for (int d = c + 1; d <= n; d++)
{
System.out.println("" + a + " " + b + " " + c + " " + d);
}
}
}
}
}
public void printCombinations(int n, int k) //Doesn't work
{
int[] nums = new int[k];
for (int i = 1; i <= nums.length; i++)
nums[i - 1] = i;
int count = 1;
while (count <= k)
{
for (int a = nums[k - count]; a <= n; a++)
{
nums[k - count] = a;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++)
System.out.print("" + nums[i] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
count++;
}
}
So I think the layout of my last method is right, but I'm just not doing the right things, because when I call printCominbations(5, 2), it prints
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 5
2 5
3 5
4 5
5 5
when it should be what I said earlier for 5C2.
Edit
The last example was bad. This is a better one to illustrate what it's doing wrong: printCombinations(5, 3) gives this:
1 2 3
1 2 4
1 2 5
1 2 5
1 3 5
1 4 5
1 5 5
1 5 5
2 5 5
3 5 5
4 5 5
5 5 5
How do I get it to be:
1 2 3
1 2 4
1 2 5
1 3 4
1 3 5
1 4 5
2 3 4
2 3 5
2 4 5
3 4 5
How about this:
public class Test {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
print_nCr(7, 4);
}
public static final void print_nCr(final int n, final int r) {
int[] res = new int[r];
for (int i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
res[i] = i + 1;
}
boolean done = false;
while (!done) {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(res));
done = getNext(res, n, r);
}
}
/////////
public static final boolean getNext(final int[] num, final int n, final int r) {
int target = r - 1;
num[target]++;
if (num[target] > ((n - (r - target)) + 1)) {
// Carry the One
while (num[target] > ((n - (r - target)))) {
target--;
if (target < 0) {
break;
}
}
if (target < 0) {
return true;
}
num[target]++;
for (int i = target + 1; i < num.length; i++) {
num[i] = num[i - 1] + 1;
}
}
return false;
}
}
The key to this solution for me was to look at the problem as a numbering system and you want to increase a number by one and every time you reach an upper bound, you just carry the excess to the left one and ... You just need to implement the increasing algorithm correctly...
The first point where your code deviates from the expectation is here:
...
1 2 5
1 2 5 <-- first bad output
1 3 5
...
So ask yourself three things:
What should have happened in that line of code with the given state of the variables?
Why doesn't do my code exactly that?
What must be changed to achieve that?
The answer for the first part is like this:
It should have incremented the 2 to 3 and it should have set the following numbers to
4, 5, ... similar to the initialisation of nums.
The second and third part is your part again.
BTW: When you come back because you need more help, please explain in detail what you have deduced so far and clean up and shorten the question quite a bit.
OK... What is the solution when we know we need loops, but not the number of them?? RECURSION...
You need to use a recursive implementation. Have this in mind: ANYTIME, you need loops but the number of the nested loops can only be known at runtime, based on the specific parameters of the problem, you should use recursive methods... I'll give you some time to try it yourself, I'll be back to give you the final implementation...
I have done it in c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define ARR_LIMIT 100
int arr[ARR_LIMIT];
void _ncr(int N,int R, int n,int r , int start )
{
if(r>0)
{
for(int i = start ; i <= start + (n-r); i++)
{
arr[R-r] = i;
_ncr(N,R,N-i, r-1, i+1 );
}
}
else
{
for(int i=0;i<R;i++)
{
cout << arr[i] << " ";
if(i==R-1)
cout<<"\n";
}
}
}
void ncr(int n,int r)
{
//Error checking of parameters
bool error = false;
if( n < 1)
{
error = true;
cout<< "ERROR : n should be greater 0 \n";
}
if( r < 1)
{
error = true;
cout<< "ERROR : r should be greater 0 \n";
}
if(r > n)
{
error = true;
cout<< "ERROR : n should be greater than or equal to r \n";
}
// end of Error checking of parameters
if(error)
return;
else
_ncr(n,r,n,r,1);
}
int main()
{
int n,r;
cout << "Enter n : ";
cin >> n;
cout << "Enter r : ";
cin >> r;
ncr(n,r);
return 0;
}
The layout of function printCombination() seems wrong. The while loop will iterate two times, for count = 1 and count = 2.
When count = 1, only values in nums[0][here] will change, since in this case k - count = 1.
Hence,
1,2
1,3
1,4 and
1,5.
And when count = 2, only values in nums[here][1] will change, since here k - count = 0.
Hence
1,5
2,5
3,5
4,5 and
5,5
