n.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
* * * * * * * *********Diamond Star Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a diamond star pattern of height
n. The diamond should have2*n - 1rows in total.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
* *** ***** ******* ********* ******* ***** *** *Hollow Diamond Star Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a hollow diamond star pattern of height

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Right Triangle Number Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a right triangle number pattern up to
nrows.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
1 12 123 1234 12345Pyramid Number Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a centered pyramid pattern with numbers. Each row should display numbers in increasing order starting from
1.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5Pascal's Triangle
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print Pascal's Triangle of height
n.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1Hint: Use the combination formula ( C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} ).
Floyd’s Triangle
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print Floyd's Triangle of height
n.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Square Number Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a square number pattern with numbers from
1ton. Each row should start from the first number of the sequence.Example (for ( n = 4 )):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16Hollow Square Pattern with Border
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a hollow square pattern of size
n, with a border of stars.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
***** * * * * * * *****Zigzag Number Pattern
Problem Statement: Write a Java program to print a zigzag number pattern of height
n, with numbers increasing row by row.Example (for ( n = 5 )):
1 2 3 6 5 4 7 8 9 10 15 14 13 12 11
Each problem encourages practicing loops, conditionals, and alignment using spaces in Java.
