I've been trying to write a program for the last 3 hours with no success. What probably should seem easy to most I'm having difficulty with. I have to print two separate patterns on the same program.

I've selected the following two:

1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2
1

This is the two patters stacked up, any ideas?

Here's what I have so far and it gets me to the first line of pattern 2:

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

for (int a = 1; a <= 6; a++) {
for (int b = 1; b <= a; b++) {
System.out.printf("%-4d", b);
}
System.out.println();
}
for (int c = 6; c >= 6; c--) {
for (int d = 1; d <= c; d++) {
System.out.printf("%-4d", d);
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

any help would be so appreciated!
