    Default Nested for loop

    So, I got the pattern right, but I was wondering if anybody else had a different approach to print out the same pattern using 2 nested for loops.
    When I try to include spaces in the inner loop to space the numbers it doesn't look the same. Any help?

    Pattern III
    ---------1
    -------2 1
    -----3 2 1
    ---4 3 2 1

    My code was:
      for(int i = 1; i <= 4; i++){
          System.out.println();
          for(int j = 4; j >= 1; j--){
              if(j <= i)System.out.print(j);
             else System.out.print(" ");
          }	
      }

    Try highlighting it as code.

    If you would like to do it in another way, you can use String formatting. First build the string using an inner for loop, set the required width and print.
