C++ Program to Print Inverted V Star Pattern

Write a C++ program to print inverted V star pattern or the half diamond inside a square star pattern using for loop.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int rows;

	cout << "Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ";
	cin >> rows;

	cout << "Printing Inverted V Shape Star Pattern\n";

	for (int i = rows; i >= 1; i--)
	{
		for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}
		for (int k = 1; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++)
		{
			cout << " ";
		}
		for (int l = 1; l <= i; l++)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}
		cout << "\n";
	}
}

This C++ program prints the inverted V pattern of stars using a while loop.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int rows;

	cout << "Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ";
	cin >> rows;

	cout << "Inverted V Shape Star Pattern\n";

	int i = rows;
	while (i >= 1)
	{
		int j = 1;
		while (j <= i)
		{
			cout << "*";
			j++;
		}
		int k = 1;
		while (k <= 2 * (rows - i))
		{
			cout << " ";
			k++;
		}
		int l = 1;
		while (l <= i)
		{
			cout << "*";
			l++;
		}
		cout << "\n";
		i--;
	}
}

Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = 12

In this C++ pattern example, InvertedVShapePatternFun allows entering any character and displays the inverted V of a given character.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void InvertedVShapePatternFun(int rows, char ch)
{
	for (int i = rows; i >= 1; i--)
	{
		for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
		{
			cout << ch;
		}
		for (int k = 1; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++)
		{
			cout << " ";
		}
		for (int l = 1; l <= i; l++)
		{
			cout << ch;
		}
		cout << "\n";
	}
}

int main()
{
	int rows;
	char ch;
	
	cout << "Enter Character for Inverted V Pattern = ";
	scanf("%c", &ch);

	cout << "Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ";
	scanf("%d", &rows);

	cout << "Inverted V Shape Star Pattern\n";
	InvertedVShapePatternFun(rows, ch);
}

Enter Character for Inverted V Pattern = $
