To get the logic of above pattern have a look to the pattern carefully for a couple of minutes. The pattern consists of N rows (where N is the total number of rows to be printed). Each row contains exactly N - i + 1 columns (where i is the current row number).
Step-by-step descriptive logic:

  1. To iterate through rows, run an outer loop from 1 to N.
  2. To print columns, run an inner loop from N to i in decreasing order (where i is the current row number). Inside this loop print the value of j (where j is the current column number).
