The document provides instructions for writing a program to print a pyramid pattern based on a user-provided integer input. It explains that the program should take a number as input, then output a pyramid shape with that number of columns by printing numbers row by row, with each row containing the relevant numbers spaced appropriately. It provides examples for input numbers 4 and 5 to illustrate the expected output format. It also lists prerequisites of loops and notes the objective is to understand nested looping.
