JavaScript Alphabet Pattern 20

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

example.html

Copied

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
  <style>
   div{ 
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
    width: 13px;
   }
  </style>
 </head>
<body>

<script>
var i, j;
for(i=65; i<=69; i++)
{
 for(j=69; j>=65; j--)
 {
  if(j > i)
   document.write("<div></div>");
  else
   document.write("<div>"+String.fromCharCode(j)+"</div>");
  }
 document.write("<br>");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

💻 Testing the Program

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

Output

    A
   BA
  CBA
 DCBA
EDCBA

🧠 How the Program Works

Let's break down the logic behind the code:

The program starts by declaring two variables i and j using the var keyword. These variables will be used as loop counters in the subsequent loops.
The outer loop for(i=65; i<=69; i++) runs five times, starting from the ASCII value of 'A' (65) and ending at the ASCII value of 'E' (69).
Inside the outer loop, there's an inner loop for(j=69; j>=65; j--), which also runs five times. It starts from the ASCII value of 'E' (69) and goes down to the ASCII value of 'A' (65).
The inner loop contains a conditional statement:

if(j > i) checks whether the current value of j (which corresponds to the inner loop counter) is greater than the current value of i (which corresponds to the outer loop counter). If this condition is true, it means we're in a position where a placeholder <div> element should be written to maintain the pattern.
If the condition is true, document.write("<div></div>"); is executed, which writes an empty <div> element to the HTML using the document.write() method.
If the condition is false (i.e., j is less than or equal to i), it means we're at a position where an <div> element containing a character should be written to the HTML.
In this case, String.fromCharCode(j) is used to convert the ASCII value j into a character. The character is then inserted into a <div> element like so: document.write("<div>"+String.fromCharCode(j)+"</div>");.

After the inner loop completes for each value of i, a <br> (line break) is inserted using document.write("<br>"); to move to the next line for the next row of characters.
This process repeats until the outer loop completes all five iterations.

💯 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.
