## Java 131 bytes## **Without using String (131 bytes)** public static void main(String[] args) { for(int i = 0 ,k=1; i>-1; i+=k){ for(int c= 65, d = 1; c>64;){ d = d>-1 & c < 65+i?1:-1; System.out.print((char)c+((c+=d)<65?"\n":"")); } k = k>-1 & i < 25?1:-1; } } **Codegolfed** for(int i=0,k=1;i>-1;k=k>-1&i<25?1:-1,i+=k)for(int c=65,d=1;c>64;d=d>-1&c<65+i?1:-1,System.out.print((char)c+((c+=d)<65?"\n":""))); ---------- **With String(173 bytes)** String a="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; for(int i = 1 ,k=1; i>0; i+=k==1?1:-1){ System.out.println(a.substring(0,i)+new StringBuilder(a).reverse().substring(27-i)); k = k>-1 & i < 26?1:-1; } **Codegolfed** String a="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";for(int i=1,k=1;i>0;k=k>-1&i<26?1:-1,System.out.println(a.substring(0,i)+new StringBuilder(a).reverse().substring(27-i)),i+=k==1?1:-1); ---------- **Thanks to [manatwork](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/4198/manatwork) and [Kevin Cruijssen](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/52210/kevin-cruijssen)**
