If you look to the above pattern you will find that the logic to print the numbers are similar as the previous pattern. Hence, we only need to write the logic to print the trailing spaces that gets printed before the number. You can hover on to the pattern to see or count the number of spaces per row. Total number of spaces per row is N - i (where N is the total number of rows and i is the current row number). Note that i loops in decreasing order i.e. at row1 i=5, at row2 i=4 and so on.
Step-by-step descriptive logic to print spaces:

  1. To print spaces, run an inner loop from i to N - 1. Inside this loop print the value of j (where j is the current column number).
