I am not able to get the logic of this question

#1

So I am able to print the first 4 lines but not getting how to handle the spaces before we start printing. Can you please give a basic idea of how can I print this whole pattern.

#2

Approach:

  1. In the given example, N=7 and the number of ROWS is 7.
  2. VERTICALLY, the pattern GROWS till ROW=N/2 and SHRINKS afterwards.
  3. ROW 1 has 4 ” “(SPACE) characters and then a value.
  4. The number of SPACE characters decreases whereas NUMERALS increase in count in each successive row.
  5. Also, note that the 1st value of the number placed in each row is the same as the number of the row.
  6. Also HORIZONTALLY the pattern has NUMERALS, then SPACES and NUMERALS afterwards.
