To print a hollow pyramid star pattern in Java, you can use a nested loop structure.
Here's an example of how to do it:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = 5; // number of rows
// outer loop to print rows
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
// inner loop to print spaces
for (int j = 1; j <= n - i; j++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
// inner loop to print stars
for (int j = 1; j <= 2 * i - 1; j++) {
// print stars for first and last rows, and for first and last columns
if (i == 1 || i == n || j == 1 || j == 2 * i - 1) {
System.out.print("*");
} else {
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
// move to next line
System.out.println();
}
}
}
This code will output the following pyramid pattern:
