C program to Print Square Star Pattern

How to write a C Program to Print Square Star Pattern with example?. And also show you how to print a square pattern with different symbols.

C program to Print Square Star Pattern

This C program allows the user to enter any side of a square (In Square, all sides are equal). This value will decide the number of rows and columns of a square. Here, we are going to print the stars until it reaches the user-specified rows and columns.

/* C program to Print Square Star Pattern */
#include<stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    int i, j, Side;
     
    printf("Please Enter Any Side of a Square\n");
    scanf("%d", &Side);
     
    for(i = 0; i < Side; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < Side; j++)
	{
           printf("*");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Let us see the Nested for loop

for(i = 0; i < Side; i++) 
{ 
   for(j = 0; j < Side; j++) 
     { 
        printf("*"); 
     } 
   printf("\n"); 
}

Outer Loop – First Iteration
From the above C Programming screenshot, you can observe that the value of i is 0 and Rows is 10 so, the condition (i < 10) is True. So, it will enter into second for loop

Inner Loop – First Iteration
The j value is 0 and the condition (j < 10) is True. So, it will start executing the statement inside the loop. The following statement will print *

printf("*");

The following statement will increment the Value of j by 1 using the Increment Operator

j++

It will happen until it reaches 10. After that, both the Inner Loop and Outer loop will terminate.

C Program to Print Square Pattern with Dynamic Character

This C program to display a square pattern with a dynamic character allows the user to enter the Symbol that he/she wants to print as a square pattern.

#include<stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    int i, j, Side;
    char Ch;
       
    printf("Please Enter any Symbol\n");
    scanf("%c", &Ch);
    
    printf("Please Enter Any Side of a Square\n");
    scanf("%d", &Side);
     
    for(i = 0; i < Side; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j < Side; j++)
	{
           printf("%c", Ch);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Please Enter any Symbol
$
Please Enter Any Side of a Square
