I have figured out how to get the pyramid to display, but I cannot figure out where to put the *2 to make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have so far.

import java.util.Scanner; 

public class Pyramid {   
  
   public static void main (String [] args){   
  
int numberOfLines;   
numberOfLines = 8;   
  
for (int row = 1; row <= numberOfLines; row++) {   
  
    for (int column = 1; column <= numberOfLines - row; column++)   
    System.out.print("   ");   
  
for (int num = row; num >= 1; num--)   
 System.out.print((num >=10) ? " " + num  : "  " + num );   
  
for (int num = 2; num <=row; num++)   
  System.out.print((num>= 10) ? " " + num  : "  " + num );   
  
  
  System.out.println();   
  
}   
}   
}   

The output should look like this:

1
1 2 1
1 2 4 2 1
1 2 4 8 4 2 1
1 2 4 8 16 8 4 2 1
1 2 4 8 16 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
(but in the pyramid shape)

Sorry, now I see what you mean

Simplest way use a temporay variable k and * 2 at each iteration
/ 2 fro the right part

		for (int row = 1; row <= numberOfLines; row++) {   

			for (int column = 1; column <= numberOfLines - row; column++)  { 
				System.out.print("   ");   
			}

			int k = 1;
			for (int num = row; num >= 1; num--)  { 
				System.out.print((k >=10) ? " " : "  ");  
				System.out.print(k);
				k *= 2;
			}
			k /= 2;
			for (int num = 2; num <=row; num++)  { 
				k /= 2;
				System.out.print((k>= 10) ? " " : "  ");   
				System.out.print(k);
				
			}

That helped a lot with getting the correct numbers, but it is no longer in a pyramid shape. I dont think I misplaced anything and I am getting no errors.

Here is what I have now.

public class Pyramid {   
  
   public static void main (String [] args){  

	int numberofLines;
	numberofLines = 8; 
  
	for (int row = 1; row <= numberofLines; row++) {   

		for (int column = 1; column <= numberofLines - row; column++)  { 
		  System.out.print("   ");   
	}

	int k = 1;

	for (int num = row; num >= 1; num--)  { 
		System.out.print((k >= 10) ? " " : "  ");  
		  System.out.print(k);

		k *= 2;
	}
	k /= 2;

	for (int num = 2; num <=row; num++)  { 
		k /= 2;
		  System.out.print((k >= 10) ? " "  : "  ");  
 
		System.out.print(k);
		
	}
      }   
   }   
}

You need a System.out.println() at the end of your outer for loop so the next set of numbers will be printed on the next line.

Thank you both so much! It works great!
