Pyramid Number Decreasing Order

Back to Programming

Description

Pyramid  Number Decreasing Order:

Here in this pattern printing, the number of lines of the pattern is taken as the input. Three for loops are used to display the pattern. The first for loop (the outer for loop) is used to count the line number so the loop is from n to 1. the first inner for loop is used to print the space before printing the elements of each line. for ith line the numbers are printed from i to n. 

Algorithm

INPUT: the number of lines
OUTPUT: the aforesaid pattern
PROCESS:
Step 1: read n [the number of lines]
Step 2:  set sp<-n-1
for i=n to 1 repeat
		For k=1 to sp repeat
			Print “ “
		For j=i to n repeat
			Print j and a space
		[End of ‘for’ loop]
		Move to the next line
		Set sp<-sp-1
	[End of ‘for’ loop]
Step 3: stop.

Code

Time Complexity:

for(i=n;i>=1;i--)--------------------------------- n

                {              for(k=1;k<=sp;k++)------------------ sp

                                                printf(" ");

                                for(j=i;j<=n;j++)---------------------- n-i+1

                                                printf("%d ",j);

                                printf("\n");

                                sp--;  }

The complexity is: O(n*(sp+n-i+1))=O(n2)
