Floyd's Triangle Pattern

Introduction

Floyd's Triangle is a specific number pattern that forms a triangular shape. Each row in the triangle contains a sequence of numbers, starting from 1 and incrementing by 1 for each subsequent row. In this article, we will explore Floyd's Triangle pattern, understand its construction, discuss the approach to solving it, and provide a step-by-step solution with sample code.

Understanding Floyd's Triangle Pattern

Floyd's Triangle is a right-angled triangular pattern where each row contains consecutive numbers starting from 1. The number of elements in each row increases by 1 as we move down the triangle. It is named after Robert W. Floyd, an American computer scientist who introduced this pattern.

Approach

To print Floyd's Triangle pattern, we can follow the following approach:

1. Input the desired number of rows for the triangle pattern.

2. Use nested loops to iterate through the rows and columns.

3. Initialize a variable with the value 1 to keep track of the numbers.

4. Print the current number and increment it after printing each element.

5. Ensure proper spacing and alignment of numbers to maintain the triangular shape.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Input the desired number of rows for the Floyd's Triangle pattern.

2. Initialize a variable num with the value 1.

3. Use a loop to iterate through each row from 1 to the desired number of rows: 

a. Use another loop to iterate through the columns from 1 to the current row number. 

b. Print the value of num with appropriate spacing. 

c. Increment the value of num after printing each element.

4. After printing all the rows, the Floyd's Triangle pattern will be displayed.
