Logic to print the given number pattern
Before you get into this confusing but interesting number pattern I recommend you to get yourself acquainted with the basics of number printing, learn the basic logic to print number pattern.

Once you get acquainted with basics of number pattern printing, have a careful eye on to above pattern. Let me help you, to make things easier lets divide this entire pattern into two big parts and six smaller pieces. The first upper half contains three parts
--------- 5-------- 54------- 543------ 5432----- --------- --------- --------- ---------
555555555 -4444444- --33333-- ---222--- ----1---- --------- --------- --------- ---------
--------- --------5 -------45 ------345 -----2345 --------- --------- --------- ---------
And the lower half of the pattern also contains three separate parts.
--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- 5432----- 543------ 54------- 5--------
--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----2---- ---333--- --44444-- -5555555-
--------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----2345 ------345 -------45 --------5
Now, both upper and lower half's of the pattern would be printed separately in two separate outer loops. Considering the first upper half of the pattern. The logic to print upper half of the pattern:
- To iterate through rows, initialize a loop from N till 1. (Note: We can also use loop from 1 to&
