C Program to Print Alphabet F Pattern

In this article, we will show how to write a C program to print the Alphabet F pattern or shape of stars using for loop, while loop, and functions.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int rows;

    printf("Enter Rows = ");
    scanf("%d",&rows);

	for (int i = 0 ; i < rows; i++ )
	{
		printf("*");
		for (int j = 0 ; j < rows; j++ )
		{
			if ((i == 0) || (i == rows / 2  && j <= rows / 2))
			{
				printf("*");
			}
			else
			{
				continue;
			}

		}
		printf("\n");
	}

    return 0;
}
Enter Rows = 15

Instead of a for loop, this Alphabet F Pattern of stars program uses a while loop to iterate the rows and columns. For more star programs, click here.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	int rows, i, j;

	printf("Enter Rows = ");
	scanf("%d", &rows);

	i = 0;
	while (i < rows)
	{
		printf("*");
		j = 0;
		while (j < rows)
		{
			if ((i == 0) || (i == rows / 2 && j <= rows / 2))
			{
				printf("*");
			}
			else
			{
				printf(" ");
			}
			j++;
		}
		printf("\n");
		i++;
	}
}
Enter Rows = 17

In this C program, we create an alphabetFPat function that accepts those values and prints the Alphabet F Pattern of the given char.

#include <stdio.h>

void alphabetFPat(int rows, char a)
{
	for (int i = 0 ; i < rows; i++ )
	{
		printf("%c", a);
		for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++)
		{
			if ((i == 0) || (i == rows / 2 && j <= rows / 2))
			{
				printf("%c", a);
			}
			else
			{
				printf(" ");
			}

		}
		printf("\n");
	}
}
int main()
{
    int rows;
    char a;

    printf("Enter Alphabet =  ");
    scanf("%c", &a);

    printf("Enter Rows = ");
    scanf("%d",&rows);

    alphabetFPat(rows, a);
    return 0;
}
