Write a program will start by asking the user for the size of the shape to print

Question

Write a program will start by asking the user for the size of the shape to print, and will then print the shape of the appropriate size. This is the pattern: all the lines between the first and last lines contain a single star. It is printed in the left-most column on one line, then being printed in the right-most column on the next line, then back to the left-most column, then the right-most column, etc. Here are some examples of sizes, and the shape that should be printed as a results: Feel free to write the entire program in main. You may assume that the user will only type in integer values greater than (or equal to 2 (so you don't have to validate the user's input) using System: namespace CSharpMidterm { class Class1 { static void Main (string[] args) {

Explanation / Answer

I'll write the main function itself.
The given statement asks to print a different output than shown.
I'm writing code for both the cases.
1.) According to the statement. Each line has 1 star and it's on left most column in one line and right end column in next line and this follows.

CODE:

static void main(string[] args) {

string line = Console.ReadLine();

int n = int.Parse(line);

int i=0,j=0;
int flag=0;
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
if(flag==0)
{Console.WriteLine("*");
flag=1;}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(" ");
for(j=0;j<n-1;j++)
Console.WriteLine(" ");
Console.WriteLine("*");
flag=0;
}
}

}

OUTPUT:

5

(4 spaces) *

2.) The following code is to obtain the output as the one drawn here.

public static void main(string[] args) {
  

string line = Console.ReadLine();

int n = int.Parse(line);

int i=0,j=0;
int flag=0;
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{Console.WriteLine(" ");
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
Console.WriteLine("*");
}

}

OUTPUT:

5
