Half Diamond number pattern in C2 min read

In this tutorial, we will write a C Program to display full hourglass patterns using numbers. Before that, you may go through the following topic in C.

Half Diamond number pattern in C

We will write various programs for the left half and right half diamond with different kinds of number patterns. These programs can also be called the arrowhead pattern programs in C.

Right Half Diamond number patter

1. Increasing number pattern

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
  int i, j, rows;
 
  printf("Enter the no. of rows: ");
  scanf("%d", &rows);
 
  for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
      printf("%d ", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  for (i = rows - 1; i >= 1; i--)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
      printf("%d ", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no. of rows: 5

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
  int i, j, rows;
 
  printf("Enter the no of rows: ");
  scanf("%d", &rows);
 
  //upper half
  for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    for (j = i - 1; j >= 1; j--)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  //lower half
  for (i = rows - 1; i >= 1; i--)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    for (j = i - 1; j >= 1; j--)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no of rows: 5

121
12321
1234321
123454321
1234321

int main()
{
  int i, j, rows;
 
  printf("Enter the no. of rows: ");
  scanf("%d", &rows);
 
  // Upper half
  for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= (i *2) - 1; j++)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  // Lower Half
  for (i = rows - 1; i >= 1; i--)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= (i *2) - 1; j++)
      printf("%d", j);
 
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no. of rows: 5
