Basic C programming, If else, LoopLogic to print plus star pattern
Before you write or think about logic of the pattern. Take a close look about the pattern and identify some noticeable things about it. Here are some.- The pattern consists of N * 2 - 1 rows (where N is the value enter by user).
- When you look to the center horizontal plus line i.e. +++++++++ this line. It also consists of N * 2 - 1 columns.
- For every other row, single plus symbol gets printed after N - 1 blank spaces, for this case it is 4.
Program to print plus star pattern series
/**
* C program to print the plus star pattern series
*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, j, N;
printf("Enter N: ");
scanf("%d", &N);
// Run an outer loop from 1 to N*2-1
for(i=1; i<=(N * 2 - 1); i++)
{
// For the center horizontal plus
if(i == N)
{
for(j=1; j<=(N * 2 - 1); j++)
{
printf("+");
}
}
else
{
// For spaces before single plus sign
for(j=1; j<=N-1; j++)
{
printf("");
}
printf("+");
}
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output
Enter N: 5
