Pattern programs are most commonly asked
during interviews, so here in this article, we will be
covering the top pattern programs in C. Moreover,
the logic is universal and can be applied to
different programming languages, such as C++,
Java, and Python.
Pattern Programs in C
The patterns that we will be discussing are:
1. Solid Rectangular Star Pattern in C
2. Hollow Rectangular star Pattern in C
3. Half Pyramid Star Pattern in C
4. Inverted Half Pyramid Pattern in C
5. Full Pyramid Star Pattern in C
N. Hollow Pyramid Star Pattern
7. Inverted Hollow Half pyramid in C
P. Full Hollow Inverted Pyramid in C
9. Half Diamond Star pattern in C
10. Solid Full Diamond Pattern in C
11. Right Arrow Star Pattern in C
12. Left Arrow Star Pattern
13. Plus Star Pattern
14. X Pattern in C
15. The Diagonal Hollow Square Pattern in C
1N. Solid Rhombus Star Pattern in C
17. Hollow Rhombus Star Pattern in C
1P. Solid Mirrored Rhombus Pattern in C
19. Hollow Mirrored Rhombus Star Pattern
20. Pascal’s triangle in C
21. Floyd’s Triangle in C
22. Half Pyramid of Alphabets in C
23. Palindrome Half Pyramid Pattern in Alphabets
