I have to print Pascal's Triangle, so it should have number 1 on each side, and format of triangle should be even on each side (now it's longer on the right side). My code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
printPascalTriangle(10);
}
public static void printPascalTriangle(int size) {
for (int i = 0; i <= size; i++) {
System.out.println();
for (int j = 0; j <= (size - i); j++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.print(" " + (i + j));
}
}
}
And the output is:
0
1 2
2 3 4
3 4 5 6
4 5 6 7 8
5 6 7 8 9 10
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Why it doesn't sum up? And why loop doesn't format spaces properly?
You should use printf
method instead of print
with proper arguments to format your output:
public static void main(String[] args) {
printPascalTriangle(10);
}
public static void printPascalTriangle(int rows) {
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
int number = 1;
System.out.printf("%" + (rows - i) * 2 + "s", "");
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.printf("%4d", number);
number = number * (i - j) / (j + 1);
}
System.out.println();
}
}
Output:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1
1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1
1 9 36 84 126 126 84 36 9 1
