To print an Hourglass Pattern in Ruby, we use nested loops. The outer loop controls the rows, and the inner loops control the spaces and stars (*) to form the pattern.
In this example,
print_hourglass
that takes the desired number of rows n
as a parameter.for
loops, where the outer loop runs from n
to 1 and the inner loops control the spaces and stars in each row.def print_hourglass(n)
(1..n).reverse_each do |i|
puts ' ' * (n - i) + '*' * (2 * i - 1)
end
(2..n).each do |i|
puts ' ' * (n - i) + '*' * (2 * i - 1)
end
end
# Example usage
print_hourglass(5)
