How to print Hollow Pyramid Pattern in Swift

How to print Hollow Pyramid Pattern in Swift ?

Answer

To print a hollow pyramid pattern in Swift, you can use nested loops. The outer loop controls the rows, and the inner loops manage the spaces and stars to create the hollow effect.

✐ Examples

1 Hollow Pyramid Pattern (Height: 5) in Swift

In this example,

Set the number of rows for the pyramid.
Use nested loops: one for rows, one for spaces, and one for stars.
In the inner loops, print spaces for the spaces between stars and print stars for the pyramid edges.
Adjust conditions to print stars only at the pyramid edges and spaces elsewhere to create the hollow effect.
Print each row to create the hollow pyramid pattern.

Swift Program

func printHollowPyramid(rows: Int) {
    for i in 1...rows {
        var pattern = ""
        for _ in stride(from: 0, to: rows - i, by: 1) {
            pattern += "  "
        }
        for _ in stride(from: 0, to: (2 * i) - 1, by: 1) {
            if i == rows || _ == 0 || _ == ((2 * i) - 2) {
                pattern += "* "
            } else {
                pattern += "  "
            }
        }
        print(pattern)
    }
}
printHollowPyramid(rows: 5)

Output

        *

    *       * 
  *           *
