Java Alphabet Pattern 15

Here`s a program that prints the above alphabet pattern using Java Programming:

Demo.java

Copied

public class Demo
{
 public static void main(String[] args) 
 {
  int i, j, k, m;
  for(i=69; i>=65; i--) 
  {
   for(j=65; j<=i; j++)
    System.out.format("%c", j);
   for(k=i; k<69; k++)
    System.out.print("**");
   for(m=i; m>=65; m--)
    System.out.format("%c", m);
   System.out.println();
  }
 }
}

💻 Testing the Program

When you run the above program, it will print the following output:

Output

ABCDEEDCBA
ABCD**DCBA
ABC****CBA
AB******BA
A********A

🧠 How the Program Works

Let's break down the logic behind the code:

The public class Demo line defines a class named Demo.
The public static void main(String[] args) method is the entry point of the program. This is where the execution starts.
Four integer variables are declared: i, j, k, and m.
The outer for loop: for(i=69; i>=65; i--) runs from i=69 to i=65 (both inclusive), in reverse order. These values correspond to ASCII values of uppercase letters from 'E' to 'A'.
Inside the outer loop, there are three nested loops:
- The first inner loop: for(j=65; j<=i; j++) runs from j=65 (ASCII value of 'A') to j value, which corresponds to the current i value. It prints characters in increasing order, effectively printing 'A' to the current letter.
- The second inner loop: for(k=i; k<69; k++) runs from the current i value to k=68. It prints "" for each iteration. The number of "" printed is (69 - current i) times, creating a pattern of asterisks.
- The third inner loop: for(m=i; m>=65; m--) runs from the current i value to m=65 (ASCII value of 'A'). It prints characters in decreasing order, effectively printing the current letter to 'A'.
- After these three nested loops, a System.out.println(); statement is used to move to the next line after each iteration of the outer loop. This creates a new line for the next row of the pattern.
As the outer loop iterates, it prints each row of the pattern following the specified logic. The pattern starts with a combination of letters and asterisks and gradually transforms into a mirror image of the previous rows.
Once the outer loop completes, the program ends.

💯 Tips for Enhancement:

Explore the versatility of this pattern by adjusting its parameters. Whether you increase or decrease the size, tweak the spacing, or modify the characters used, each change opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to customize and create your unique visual effects.
