Program to Print Parallelogram Star Pattern

PRINTING PATTERN:

PREREQUISITE:

Basic knowledge of C language and loops.

ALGORITHM:

1. Take the number of rows as input from the user (height of the parallelogram) and store it in a variable ('n').
2. Run a loop 'n' times to iterate through the rows (i=0 to i<n).
3. For each row, print spaces to create the slant of the parallelogram.
4. Print stars for each row.
5. Move to the next line after each row has been printed.

Code in C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n, i, j;  // Declaring integers for rows and loop counters
    printf("Enter the number of rows for the parallelogram:\n");
    scanf("%d", &n);  // Taking input for number of rows

    for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // Print spaces for parallelogram shape
        for (j = 0; j < i; j++) {
            printf(" ");  // Printing spaces
        }
        // Print stars for each row
        for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) {  // Assuming the width of the parallelogram is 6
            printf("*");  // Printing stars
        }
        printf("\n");  // New line after each row
    }

    return 0;
}
            

Output:

Enter the number of rows for the parallelogram:
4
