C++ Program to Print Square Star Pattern

Write a C++ Program to Print Square Star Pattern with an example. This C++ square pattern program allows us to enter any side of a square. Next, the nested for loops will iterate between 0 and side to print the *.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int i, j, side;
	
	cout << "\nPlease Enter Any Side of Square  =  ";
	cin >> side;	
	
	cout << "\n-----Square Star Pattern-----\n";
	for (i = 0; i < side; i++)
	{
		for (j = 0; j < side; j++)
		{
			cout << "*";
		}
		cout << "\n";
	}
 	return 0;
}

This C++ Square Star Pattern example allows the user to enter his/her own symbol. Next, it prints the square pattern of that given character.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int i, j, side;
	char ch;
	
	cout << "\nPlease Enter Any Side of Square  =  ";
	cin >> side;
	
	cout << "\nPlease Enter Any Symbol to Print  =  ";
	cin >> ch;	
		
	cout << "\n-----Square Pattern-----\n";
	for (i = 0; i < side; i++)
	{
		for (j = 0; j < side; j++)
		{
			cout << ch;
		}
		cout << "\n";
	}
 	return 0;
}

Output

Please Enter Any Side of Square  =  8

Please Enter Any Symbol to Print  =  @

C++ Program to Print Square Star Pattern using a While loop

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int i, j, side;
	char ch;
	
	cout << "\nPlease Enter Any Side of Square  =  ";
	cin >> side;
	
	cout << "\nPlease Enter Any Symbol to Print  =  ";
	cin >> ch;	
		
	cout << "\n-----Square Pattern-----\n";
	i = 0;
	while (i < side)
	{
		j = 0;
		while (j < side)
		{
			cout << ch;
			j++;
		}
		cout << "\n";
		i++;
	}
 	return 0;
}

Output

Please Enter Any Side of Square  =  9

Please Enter Any Symbol to Print  =  $
