Pattern programs in C

C Programming Code To Create Pyramid and Pattern

Pattern programs in C language: These programs print various patterns of numbers and stars. These codes illustrate how to create various patterns using C programming. Most of these C programs involve usage of nested for loops. A pattern of numbers, star or characters is a way of arranging these in some logical manner or they may form a sequence. Some of these patterns are triangles which have special importance in mathematics. Some patterns are symmetrical while others are not. Please see the complete page and look at comments for many different patterns.

Example : Program to print half pyramid using *

                    *
                    * *
                    * * *
                    * * * *
