Hollow Concentric Triangle with Numbers

This program prints hollow concentric triangles using numbers.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program that prints concentric hollow triangles with numbers up to 7 rows.

Source Code

1 public class HollowConcentricTriangleNumbers {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 int n = 7;
4 for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) {
5 for(int j=i; j<n; j++) System.out.print(" ");
6 for(int j=1; j<=2*i-1; j++) {
7 if(j==1 || j==2*i-1 || i==n) System.out.print(i);
8 else System.out.print(" ");
9 }
10 System.out.println();
11 }
12 }
13 }

Program Output

      1      
     2 2     
    3   3    
   4     4   
  5       5  
 6         6

Explanation

The same hollow triangle logic is used but each row's boundary positions print its own row index instead of a star, so the triangle edges are labeled with numbers while the base row is fully filled with the final row's number.
