Patterns in C#

Introduction to Patterns in C#

Patterns are the repeated decorative design. There is a simple code to write patterns in C#. We can write code to print different types of patterns like star pattern, character pattern and number pattern. Below are the various examples to print patterns of star, character and numeric values. These examples consist of loops or nested loops which is a loop inside for a loop. Patterns are a way of designing in sequence or in a logical manner. We can print triangles, pyramids, diamonds, and other symmetries.

1. Star Pattern

The following are examples to print star patterns.

Example #1

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace StarPattern
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int x, y, z;
for (x =6; x >= 1; x--)
{
for (y = 1; y < x; y++)
{
Console.Write(" ");
}
for (z = 6; z >= x; z--)
{
Console.Write("*");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Output:

output-1

Example #2

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace StarPattern
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int x, y;
for (x = 1; x <= 6; x++)
{
for (y = 1; y <= x; y++)
{
Console.Write("*");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Output:

for (y = 1; y <= x; y++)
{
Console.Write("*");
