Java Program to Print Inverted V Star Pattern

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

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InvertedVStarPattern1 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Printing Inverted V Shape Star Pattern");
		
		for (int i = rows; i >= 1; i-- ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= i; j++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");

			}
			for (int k = 1 ; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			for (int l = 1 ; l <= i; l++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

This Java program displays the inverted V star pattern of stars using a while loop.

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InvertedVStarPattern2 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Printing Inverted V Shape Star Pattern");
		
		int i = rows;
		while( i >= 1) 
		{
			int j = 1 ;
			while( j <= i ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
				j++;

			}
			int k = 1 ;
			while( k <= 2 * (rows - i) ) 
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
				k++;
			}
			int l = 1 ;
			while( l <= i ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
				l++;
			}
			System.out.println();
			i--;
		}
	}
}

In this Java pattern example, InvertedVShapePattern function allows to enter any character and prints the inverted V of a given character.

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InvertedVStarPattern4 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Enter Inverted V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Enter Character for Inverted V Pattern = ");
		char ch = sc.next().charAt(0);
		
		System.out.println("Printing Inverted V Shape Star Pattern");	
		InvertedVShapePattern(rows, ch);
	}
	public static void InvertedVShapePattern(int rows, char ch) 
	{
		for (int i = rows; i >= 1; i-- ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= i; j++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(ch);

			}
			for (int k = 1 ; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			for (int l = 1 ; l <= i; l++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(ch);
			}
			System.out.println();
		}	
	}
}
