Program to print numbers from N to 1 in reverse order

0 0 4 minutes read

Given a number N, the task is to print the numbers from N to 1.
Examples:

Input: N = 10
Output: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Input: N = 7
Output: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Approach 1: Run a loop from N to 1 and print the value of N for each iteration. Decrement the value of N by 1 after each iteration.
Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ program to print all numbers between 1
// to N in reverse order
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to print from N to 1
void PrintReverseOrder(int N)
{
 
    for (int i = N; i > 0; i--)
        cout << i << " ";
 
}
 
// Driven Code
int main()
{
    int N = 5;
 
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to print all numbers between 1
// to N in reverse order
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG {
 
// Recursive function to print from N to 1
static void PrintReverseOrder(int N)
{
 
    for (int i = N; i > 0; i--)
        System.out.print( +i + " ");
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 5;
 
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
}
}

Python3

# Python3 program to print all numbers 
# between 1 to N in reverse order
 
# Recursive function to print 
# from N to 1
def PrintReverseOrder(N):
     
    for i in range(N, 0, -1):
        print(i, end = " ");
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
     
    N = 5;
    PrintReverseOrder(N);

C#

// C# program to print all numbers 
// between 1 to N in reverse order
using System;
 
class GFG{
 
// Recursive function to print
// from N to 1
static void PrintReverseOrder(int N)
{
    for(int i = N; i > 0; i--)
       Console.Write(i + " ");
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 5;
 
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
}
}

Javascript

<script>
 
    // Javascript program to print all numbers between 1
    // to N in reverse order
     
    // Recursive function to print from N to 1
    function PrintReverseOrder(N)
    {
 
        for (let i = N; i > 0; i--)
            document.write(i + " ");
 
    }
 
     let N = 5;
  
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
     
</script>

Output:

5 4 3 2 1

Time Complexity: O(N)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Approach 2: We will use recursion to solve this problem.

Check for the base case. Here it is N<=0.
If base condition satisfied, return to the main function.
If base condition not satisfied, print N and call the function recursively with value (N – 1) until base condition satisfies.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ program to print all numbers between 1
// to N in reverse order
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to print from N to 1
void PrintReverseOrder(int N)
{
    // if N is less than 1
    // then return void function
    if (N <= 0) {
        return;
    }
    else {
        cout << N << " ";
 
        // recursive call of the function
        PrintReverseOrder(N - 1);
    }
}
 
// Driven Code
int main()
{
    int N = 5;
 
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to print all numbers 
// between 1 to N in reverse order
class GFG{
 
// Recursive function to print 
// from N to 1
static void PrintReverseOrder(int N)
{
     
    // If N is less than 1 then 
    // return static void function
    if (N <= 0)
    {
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.print(N + " ");
 
        // Recursive call of the function
        PrintReverseOrder(N - 1);
    }
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 5;
 
    PrintReverseOrder(N);
}
}
