Question

This program is about nested loops. IN C language

The Problem Statement

You and your roommates have embarked on a project to paint your room in a manner similar to the stripes on the US flag. For example, if you wanted 5 rows with the first row with 8 stars, your design would look like the following:

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

Program Setup

Your program should ask the user to enter the number of rows and the number of stars in the first row. The even numbered rows should have one fewer star than the odd numbered rows. Then, construct your program to print the star design.

Sample Run

Here are two examples of what your program should look like when its finished.

How many rows for your star design?

5

How many stars on the first row?

8

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

Specification

Homework assignments are either correct or incorrect. You must match these prompts and output formatting including punctuation.

How many rows for your star design?

How many stars on the first row?

Odd rows should not have any spaces in front of them.

Even rows should have one space at the beginning of the line.

Separate each asterisk with one space.

Explanation / Answer

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

   int i,r,first,j;

   printf("How many rows for your star design? ");
   scanf("%d",&r);
   printf("How many stars on the first row? ");
   scanf("%d",&first);
   for(i=1;i<=r;i++)
   {
       for(j=1;j<=first;j++)
       {
           if(i%2==0&&j==first)
               break;
           else
               printf("* ");
       }
       printf(" ");
   }
   return 1;

}
