Floyd’s Triangle – Java Implementation

by

Floyd’s Triangle:

  • Floyd’s triangle is a right angled triangular array of natural numbers.
  • It named after Robert Floyd.
  • Rows of the triangle filled by consecutive numbers.
  • First row will have single number which is 1.
  • Second row will have two numbers, which are 2 and 3
  • Third row will have three numbers, which are 4, 5 and 6..
  • And so on

Example:

First 5 lines…
1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15

Approach:

  • Two nested loops.
  • Outer loop will take care for rows.
  • Inner loop will take care of printing the numbers.
  • Line break after each iteration of inner loop.
  • Keep track of numbers printed so far in a variable.
  • See the code for more understanding.

Code:


public class FloydTriangle {
public static void printTriangle(int rows){
if(rows<=0)
return;
int count=1;
int number = 1;
while(count<=rows){
for (int i = 0; i <count ; i++) {
System.out.print(number + " ");
number++;
}
count++;
System.out.println();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int rows = 7;
printTriangle(rows);
}
}
