C Program – Print Number Pattern - Incremental Sequence

Print Number Pattern

This pattern prints numbers incrementally in each row. The first row prints 1, the second row prints 1 2, the third prints 1 2 3, and so on. It forms a staircase of increasing sequences.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int rows;
    printf("Enter number of rows: ");
    scanf("%d", &rows);
    for (int i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
        // Print numbers from 1 to i
        for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
            printf("%d ", j);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Enter number of rows: 5
1 
1 2 
1 2 3 
1 2 3 4 
1 2 3 4 5 
        

Practice: Number Pattern

Each row begins at 1 and prints consecutive integers up to the row number. This creates a simple, increasing pattern that helps beginners understand nested loops with varying ranges.
