Explain how to print half pyramid of numbers in java

Question

public class Pattern {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int rows = 5;

for(int i = 1; i <= rows; ++i) {
for(int j = 1; j <= i; ++j) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

ok I got this code but will someone explain what steps are there during the execution of the loop which resulted into the output??? it would be helpful....

Answer 1

the outer loop is the "parent" loop so to speak, the inner loop is executed as a new loop on each pass of the outer loop(setting the value of j to 1 on each pass), on the first iteration i == 1, and j == 1 so the inner loop has met its condition on the first run, which will result in printing “1 “, then breaking out of the inner loop and returning to the outerloop in which a new line is printed and i is incremented by 1.

so now that i on the outer loop is incremented by 1 making i == 2, the inner loop is executed as a "new" loop as discussed above, so it sets the value of j to 1 (again) and now the condition is 1<=2(j<=i) so this time it will loop twice, resulting in the output of "1 2" and this process is repeated until the outer loop has met its condition of i<=rows

I hope that makes sense to you.
