How to find the count to convert a pyramid into a square using C#.net

Introduction 

Let’s develop a simple C# console application to find the count of convert a pyramid into a square.

Getting Started

In ASP.NET 5 we can create console applications. To create a new console application, we first open Visual Studio 2015. Create it using File-> New-> Project.

Now we will select the ASP.NET 5 Console Application to create the console application, click on the OK button.

Include the following references in the application:

1. using System;  
2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
3. using System.Linq; 

In the main method, I have created 2 methods

1.PrintPyramid – To print the triangle in given input.

2.ConvertPyramidToSquare = Convert triangle into square.

Please refer the code snippet below:

1. static void Main(string[] args)  
2. {  
3. try  
4. {  
5. PrintPyramid();  
6. ConvertPyramidToSquare();  
7. }  
8. catch (Exception Ex)  
9. {  
10. Console.WriteLine("Error:" + Ex.Message);  
11. }  
12. Console.ReadKey();  
13. } 

Print the Triangle

The method definition for the PrintPyramid() is given below:

1. public static void PrintPyramid()  
2. {  
3. int i, j, k, l, n;  
4. Console.Write("Enter the Range = ");  
5. n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());  
6. for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)  
7. {  
8. for (j = 1; j <= n - i; j++)  
9. {  
10. Console.Write(" ");  
11. }  
12. for (k = 1; k <= i; k++)  
13. {  
14. Console.Write(k);  
15. }  
16. for (l = i - 1; l >= 1; l--)  
17. {  
18. Console.Write(l);  
19. }  
20. Console.Write("\n");  
21. }  
22. } 

Convert Pyramid to square count

The method definition for the ConvertPyramidToSquare() is given below

1. public static void ConvertPyramidToSquare()  
2. {  
3.    Console.Write("Enter the Level = ");  
4.    int a = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());  
5.    int i, j, count = 0;  
6.    for (i = 1; i <= a; i++)  
7.    {  
8.       for (j = 1; j <= (2 * i) - 1; j++)  
9.       {  
10.       }  
11.       while (j <= a)  
12.       {  
13.          count++;  
14.             j++;  
15.       }  
16.    }  
17.    Console.WriteLine("Result Count: " + count);  
18. } 

Click on F5 and execute the project and follow the console window. The output will be:

 

I hope this article is helpful for beginners trying to find the count to convert a pyramid into a square when they want to begin working in ASP.NET 5 console applications. Thanks for reading.

Happy Coding
