Algorithm to print triangle pattern of palindrome strings
This program is silimar to right triangle star pattern program.
  • Take the number of rows(N) of right triangle as input from user using scanf function.
  • Number of characters in Kth row is always 2K+1. 0th row contains 1 character, 1st row contains 3 characters, 2nd row contains 5 charcaters and so on.
  • In any row, we will first print the characters in increasing order of their ASCII value till mid of the row and then in decreasing order.
  • We will use two for loops to print right triangle of palindrome strings.
    • Outer for loop will iterate N time(from i = 0 to 2N-2 in increment of 2). Each iteration of outer loop will print one row of the pattern.
    • Each iteration of inner loop will print a palindrome string as explained above.

Here is the matrix representation of the above mentioned pattern. The row numbers are represented by i whereas column numbers are represented by j.

C program to print palindrome triangle pattern

#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
    int i, j, rows, count=0;

    printf("Enter the number of rows\n");
    scanf("%d", &rows);

    for (i = 0; i < 2*rows; i=i+2) {
        for (j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
            printf("%c", 'A'+count);
            if(j < i/2)
                count++;
            else
                count--;
        }
        count = 0;
        printf("\n");
    }
    return(0);
}
Output
Enter the number of rows
5
A
ABA
ABCBA
ABCDCBA
ABCDEDCBA
