Program for Arrow Star Pattern

Last Updated : 20 Feb, 2023

Given the value of n, print the pattern.
Examples :

Input : 5
Output :
    *****
   ****
  ***

    *****

Input : 7
Output :

Below is the implementation to print the above pattern :

C++

// C++ Implementation to print the pattern

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// arrow function 
int arrow(int n)
{
    // Prints the upper part of the arrow
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) 
    {
        // for the spacing to form
        // the point of the arrow
        for (int j = i; j < n; j++) 
        {
            printf(" ");
        }
        
        // for printing the star(*)
        for (int j = i; j <= n; j++) 
        {
            cout << "*";
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
    
    // Prints lower part of the arrow
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
    {
        // for the spacing to form
        // the point of the arrow
        for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) 
        {
            printf(" ");
        }
        
        // for printing the star(*)
        for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) 
        {
            cout << "*";
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
}

// driver code
int main()
{
    // get the value from user
    int n = 5;
    
    // function calling
    arrow(n);

    return 0;
}

Java

        }

        for (int j = i; j <= n; j++) 
        {
            System.out.print("*");
        }
            
    System.out.println();
    }
    
    // Prints lower part of the arrow
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
    {
        // for the spacing to form
        // the point of the arrow

Time Complexity : O(n²) ,where n is the given input number.

Space Complexity : O(1) ,as we are not using any extra space.
