In this article, we are going to learn how to print mirror lower star triangle patterns in Java. 

Illustration:

Input: number = 7 Output: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Methods: We can print mirror lower star triangle pattern using loops, so 

  1. Using for loop
  2. Using while loop
  3. Using do-while loop

Method 1: Using for Loop

Example

Java
// Java program to print Mirror Lower Star Triangle Pattern // Using For loop import java.io.*; // Main class class GFG {  // Method  // Main driver method  public static void main(String[] args)  {  // Declare and initialize variable to  // Size of the triangle  int number = 7;  // Declaring two variables for rows and columns  int m, n;  // Outer loop 1  // Prints the first half triangle  for (m = 1; m <= number; m++) {  // Inner loop 1  for (n = 1; n < m; n++) {  // Print whitespace  System.out.print(" ");  }  // Inner loop 2  for (n = m; n <= number; n++) {  // Print star  System.out.print("*"  + " ");  }  // Ending line after each row  System.out.println();  }  // Outer loop 2  // prints the second half triangle  for (m = number - 1; m >= 0; m--) {  // Inner loop 1  for (n = 0; n < m; n++) {  // Print whitespace  System.out.print(" ");  }  // Inner loop 2  for (n = m; n <= number - 1; n++) {  // Print star  System.out.print("*"  + " ");  }  // Ending line after each row  System.out.println();  }  } } 

Output
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Time complexity: O(n^2) where n is given input number
Auxiliary Space: O(1) because it using constant variable

Method 2: Using While Loop

Example

Java
// Java program to Print Mirror Lower Star Triangle Pattern // using While loop import java.io.*; // Main Class class GFG {  // Main driver method  public static void main(String[] args)  {  // Declare and initialize variable to  // Size of the triangle  int number = 7;  int m = number;  int n;  // Outer loop 1  // prints the first half triangle  // Till condition holds true  while (m > 0) {  n = 0;  // Inner loop 1  // prints space until n++ < number - m is false  while (n++ < number - m) {  // print whitespace  System.out.print(" ");  }  n = 0;  // Inner loop 2  // Prints star until n++ < (m * 2) - 1 is false  while (n++ < (m * 2) - 1) {  // Print star  System.out.print("*");  }  // Ending line after each row  System.out.println();  // Decrementing by one  m--;  }  m = 1;  // Outer loop 2  // prints the second half triangle  while (m <= number) {  n = 0;  // Inner loop 1  // prints space until n++ < number - m is false  while (n++ < number - m) {  // Print whitespace  System.out.print(" ");  }  n = 0;  // Inner loop 2  // Prints star until n++ < (m * 2) - 1 is false  while (n++ < (m * 2) - 1) {  // print star  System.out.print("*");  }  // Ending line after each row  System.out.println();  m++;  }  } } 

Output
************* *********** ********* ******* ***** *** * * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** *************


 

Output:


 

Method 3: Using do-while Loop


 

Implementation:


 

Example


 

Java
// Java program to print Mirror Lower Star Triangle Pattern // using Do-while loop import java.io.*; // Main class class GFG {  // Main driver method  public static void main(String[] args)  {  // Declare variable with the  // Size of the triangle  int number = 7;  int m = number;  int n;  // Outer loop 1  // prints the first half triangle  do {  n = 0;  // Inner loop 1  // prints space until n++ < number - m is false  do {  // Print whitespaces  System.out.print(" ");  } while (n++ < number - m);  n = 0;  // Inner loop 2  // prints star until n++ < m * 2 - 2 is false  do {  // Print star  System.out.print("*");  }  while (n++ < m * 2 - 2);  System.out.println("");  }  // Condition check for do-while  while (--m > 0);  m = 1;  // Outer loop 2  // prints the second half triangle  do {  n = 0;  // Inner loop 1  // prints space until n++ < (number - m) is  // false  do {  // Print whitespace  System.out.print(" ");  } while (n++ < (number - m));  n = 0;  // Inner loop 2  // prints star until n++ < (m * 2) - 2 is false  do {  // Print star  System.out.print("*");  }  while (n++ < (m * 2) - 2);  System.out.println("");  }  // Condition check for do-while  while (++m <= number);  } } 

Output
 ************* *********** ********* ******* ***** *** * * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** *************

Time complexity: O(N2) where N is given input size of triangle
Auxiliary Space : O(1) because it using constant variable
