Java Program to Print X Star Pattern

Write a Java Program to print X star pattern using for loop. This Java X star example uses if condition within the nested for loops to iterate the rows.

package ShapePrograms;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class XPattern1 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);	
		
		System.out.print("Please Enter X Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();	
		
		System.out.println("---- Printing X Pattern of Stars ------");
		
		int k = rows * 2 - 1;	
		
		for (int i = 1 ; i <= k; i++ ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= k; j++ ) 
			{
				if(j == i || j == k - i + 1) 
				{
					System.out.print("*");
				}
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

In this Java X star pattern program, we replaced the for loop with the while loop.

package ShapePrograms;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class XPattern2 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int  rows,  j;
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);	
		
		System.out.print("Please Enter X Pattern Rows = ");
		rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("---- Printing X Pattern of Stars ------");
		int k = rows * 2 - 1;
		int i = 1 ;
		
		while( i <= k) 
		{
			j = 1;
			while (j <= k) 
			{
				if(j == i || j == k - i + 1) {
					System.out.print("*");
				}
				System.out.print(" ");
				j++;
			}
			System.out.println();
			i++;
		}
	}
}

Please Enter X Pattern Rows = 7

Java Program to Print X Star Pattern using do while loop

package ShapePrograms;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class XPattern3 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int  rows,  j;
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);	
		
		System.out.print("Please Enter X Pattern Rows = ");
		rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.println("---- Printing X Pattern of Stars ------");
		int k = rows * 2 - 1;
		int i = 1 ;
		
		do
		{
			j = 1;
			do
			{
				if(j == i || j == k - i + 1) {
					System.out.print("*");
				}
				System.out.print(" ");
				j++;
			} while (j <= k);
			System.out.println();
			i++;
		}while( i <= k);
	}
}

In this Java example, the XPattern function prints the X pattern of a given symbol.

package ShapePrograms;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class XPattern4 {
	private static Scanner sc;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.print("Please Enter X Pattern Rows = ");
		int rows = sc.nextInt();
		
		System.out.print("Enter Character for X Pattern = ");
		char ch = sc.next().charAt(0);
		
		System.out.println("---- Printing X Pattern ------");
		XPattern(rows, ch);
	}
	
	public static void XPattern(int rows, char ch) {
		int k = rows * 2 - 1;
		
		for (int i = 1 ; i <= k; i++ ) 
		{
			for (int j = 1 ; j <= k; j++ ) 
			{
				if(j == i || j == k - i + 1) {
					System.out.print(ch);
				}
				System.out.print(" ");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}
