Write a C++ program to print the sandglass number pattern using for loop.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int i, j, k, rows;
cout << "Enter Sandglass Number Pattern Row = ";
cin >> rows;
cout << "Sandglass Number Pattern\n";
for(i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
{
for(j = 1; j < i; j++)
{
cout << " ";
}
for(k = i; k <= rows; k++)
{
cout << k << " ";
}
cout << "\n";
}
for(i = rows - 1; i >= 1; i--)
{
for(j = 1; j < i; j++)
{
cout << " ";
}
for(k = i; k <= rows; k++)
{
cout << k << " ";
}
cout << "\n";
}
return 0;
}

This C++ example prints the numbers in a sandglass pattern using a while loop.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int i = 1, j, k, rows;
cout << "Enter Sandglass Number Pattern Row = ";
cin >> rows;
cout << "Sandglass Number Pattern\n";
while( i <= rows)
{
j = 1;
while( j < i)
{
cout << " ";
j++;
}
k = i;
while( k <= rows )
{
cout << k << " ";
k++;
}
cout << "\n";
i++;
}
i = rows - 1;
while( i >= 1)
{
j = 1;
while( j < i)
{
cout << " ";
j++;
}
k = i;
while( k <= rows )
{
cout << k << " ";
k++;
}
cout << "\n";
i--;
}
return 0;
}
Enter Sandglass Number Pattern Row = 9
