Introduction to Pattern Printing
Pattern printing involves creating visual outputs using loops.
Used in algorithm design and coding interviews.
Develop logical thinking and coding skills.
Basics of Pattern Printing
Loops: Nested loops (outer for rows, inner for columns).
Spaces: Manage alignment in patterns.
Symbols: Decide what to print (e.g., *, numbers, alphabets).
