Answer 1

Well it's been more than a week with no follow up, you probably have solved it anyway, I'll just post what I did here, good training for me.

public class VPattern
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int n = 5; // 5 rows
int width = n * 2 - 1, last = width - 1;
char letter = 'a';

for(int x = 1; n != 0; n--, x++)
{
for(int c = 0, v = n - 1; c < width; c++)
{
if(c < x)
{
System.out.printf("%c", letter + v++);
}
else if(c > last - x)
{
if(n == 1 && c == x) --v;
System.out.printf("%c", letter + --v);
}
else
{
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Please share your attempt first

Answer 3

package com.javainterviewpoint;

public class Pattern1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int alphabet = 65;

System.out.println("** Printing the pattern... **");
for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++)
{
System.out.print((char) (alphabet + j) + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Only can make this, i really need to know about how to print that pattern
