Parallelogram Star Pattern
Program to Print Parallelogram Star Pattern
PRINTING PATTERN:
****** ****** ****** ******
PREREQUISITE:
Basic knowledge of Java 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 Java:
import java.util.Scanner; public class ParallelogramPattern { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the number of rows for the parallelogram:"); int n = scanner.nextInt(); // Taking input for number of rows for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { // Print spaces for parallelogram shape for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) { System.out.print(" "); // Printing spaces } // Print stars for each row for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++) { // Assuming the width of the parallelogram is 6 System.out.print("*"); // Printing stars } System.out.println(); // New line after each row } scanner.close(); } }
Output:
Enter the number of rows for the parallelogram: 4 ****** ****** ****** ******
