Java Program to Print V Star Pattern

Write a Java program to print V star pattern using for loop.

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class VStarPattern1 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Enter V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Printing V Shape Star Pattern");
		
		for (int i = 1 ; i <= rows; i++ ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= i; j++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			for (int k = 1 ; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			for (int l = 1 ; l <= i; l++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

Java program to print the V star pattern of stars using a while loop

package Shapes3;

public class VStarPattern2 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		int i, j, k, l;
		
		System.out.print("Enter V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Printing V Shape Star Pattern");
		i = 1 ;
		while( i <= rows) 
		{
			j = 1 ;
			while( j <= i ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
				j++;

			}
			k = 1 ;
			while( k <= 2 * (rows - i) )

			while( l <= i ) 
			{
				System.out.print("*");
				l++;
			}
			System.out.println();
			i++;
		}
	}
}

This Java example uses the do while loop to display the alphabetical V star pattern.

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class VStarPattern3 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		int i, j, k, l;
		
		System.out.print("Enter V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("Printing V Shape Star Pattern");
		i = 1 ;
		do 
		{
			j = 1 ;
			do
			{
				System.out.print("*");

			} while( ++j <= i );
			k = 1 ;
			while(k <= 2 * (rows - i))
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
				k++;
			}
			l = 1 ;
			do
			{
				System.out.print("*");
			} while( ++l <= i ) ;
			System.out.println();
		} while(++i <= rows);
	}
}

In this Java example, VShapePattern function that allows to enter any character and prints the V pattern of a given character.

package Shapes3;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class VStarPattern4 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Enter V Shape Star Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Enter Character for V Pattern = ");
		char ch = sc.next().charAt(0);
		
		System.out.println("Printing V Shape Pattern");
		VShapePattern(rows, ch);
	}
	public static void VShapePattern(int rows, char ch) 
	{
		for (int i = 1 ; i <= rows; i++ ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= i; j++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(ch);

			}
			for (int k = 1 ; k <= 2 * (rows - i); k++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			for (int l = 1 ; l <= i; l++ ) 
			{
				System.out.print(ch);
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}
