C#: Display the pattern like a pyramid with an asterisk

C# Sharp For Loop: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a program in C# Sharp to make such a pattern like a pyramid with an asterisk.
The pattern is as follows:

   * 
  * * 
 * * * 
* * * *

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;  // Importing necessary namespace

public class Exercise14  // Declaration of the Exercise14 class
{  
    public static void Main()  // Main method, entry point of the program
    {
        int i, j, spc, rows, k;  // Declaration of variables 'i', 'j' for iteration, 'spc' for space count, 'rows' to store the number of rows, 'k' for iteration

        Console.Write("\n\n");  // Displaying new lines
        Console.Write("Display the pattern like a pyramid with asterisk:\n");  // Displaying the purpose of the program
        Console.Write("-------------------------------------------------");  // Displaying a separator
        Console.Write("\n\n");

        Console.Write("Input number of rows : ");  // Prompting the user to input the number of rows
        rows = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());  // Reading the number entered by the user    

        spc = rows + 4 - 1;  // Calculating the initial count of spaces for proper alignment

        for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)  // Loop to iterate through each row
        {
            for (k = spc; k >= 1; k--)  // Loop to print spaces before the asterisks for the pyramid pattern
            {
                Console.Write(" ");  // Displaying spaces
            }

            for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)  // Loop to print asterisks in each row 'i' times
            {
                Console.Write("* ");  // Displaying an asterisk and a space
            }
            Console.Write("\n");  // Moving to the next line to form the pyramid pattern
            spc--;  // Decreasing the space count for the next row
        }
    }	
}

Sample Output:

Display the pattern like pyramid with asterisk:                                                               
-------------------------------------------------                                                                           
Input number of rows : 6                                                                                      
         *                                                                                                    
        * *                                                                                                   
       * * *                                                                                                  
      * * * *                                                                                                 
     * * * * *                                                                                                
    * * * * * *
