Half Pyramid of Alphabets in C5 min read

In this tutorial, we will learn and code alphabet patterns in C programming language specifically the Half pyramid of alphabets in C programming. However, in this tutorial, we will create a pyramid character pattern in C using for loop. So you may go through the following topic in C.

Pattern 1: C program for character/alphabet.

This program asks for the alphabet till which you want to print.

Enter the character till which you want to print in uppercase: F
A
B B
C C C
D D D D
E E E E E
F F F F F F

{
  int i, j;
  char ch, alphabet = 'A';
 
  printf("Enter the character till which you want to print in uppercase: ");
  scanf("%c", &ch);
 
  for (i = 1; i <= (ch - 'A' + 1); ++i)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; ++j)
      printf("%c ", alphabet);
 
    ++alphabet;
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Pattern 2: C program for character/alphabet.

This program asks the user for the number of rows that you want.

Enter the no. of rows: 6
A
B B
C C C
D D D D
E E E E E
F F F F F F

  scanf("%d", &rows);
 
  for (i = 0; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 0; j <= i; j++)
    {
      printf(" %c", (char)(ch + i));
    }
    printf("\n");
  }
 
  getch();
}

  int alphabet = 65;
 
  for (i = 0; i < rows; i++)

    for (j = 0; j <= i; j++)
    {
      printf("%c ", (char)(alphabet + j));
