Kite pattern in Java

Kite Pattern is another complex pattern program that is rarely asked by the interviewers because of its complexity to code. A kite is basically a combination of three triangles. So, we break our code into three parts, i.e., upper, middle, and lower parts.

Let's implement the code for the Kite pattern by using for loop. Here, we use three nested 'for' loops to print three triangles.

KitePatternExample.java

// import required classes if any
// create class KitePatternExample to print Kite pattern
class KitePatternExample {
	// main() method start
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// declare and initialize variables
		int sp = 4;
		// for loop to print the upper part of the kite
		for (int m = 1; m <= 5; m++) {
 
			// for loop to print space on screen
			for (int n = sp; n >= 1; n--) {
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			// for loop to print star on screen
			for (int n = 1; n <= (m - 1); n++) {
				if (m == 1) {
					continue;
				} 
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			for (int n = 1; n <= m; n++) {
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			System.out.println();
			sp--;
		}
		// update value of space to print space on screen  
		sp = 1;
		// for loop to print middle part of the kite
		for (int m = 4; m >= 1; m--) {
			for (int n = sp; n >= 1; n--) {
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			for (int n = 1; n <= m; n++) {
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			for (int n = 1; n <= (m - 1); n++) {
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			sp++;
			System.out.println();
		}
		// again update value of space to print space on screen
		sp = 3;
		// for loop to print lower part of the kite
		for (int m = 2; m <= 5; m++) {
			if ((m % 2) != 0) {
				for (int n = sp; n >= 1; n--) {
					System.out.print(" ");
				} 
				for (int n = 1; n <= m; n++) {
					System.out.print("*");
				}
			} 
			if ((m % 2) != 0) {
				System.out.println();
				sp--;
			}
		}
	}
}
