C Alphabet Pattern 17

Here`s a program that prints the above alphabet pattern using C Programming:

example.c

Copied

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
 int i, j;
 for(i=65; i<=69; i++)
 {
  for(j=69; j>=65; j--) 
  {
   if(i == j)
    printf("*");
   else
    printf("%c", j);
  }
  printf("\n");
 }
 return 0;
}

💻 Testing the Program

When you run the above program, it will print the following output:

Output

EDCB*
EDC*A
ED*BA
E*CBA
*DCBA

🧠 How the Program Works

Let's break down the logic behind the code:

The program begins with the inclusion of the <stdio.h> header file for input and output operations.
The main() function is declared.
Inside the main() function, we declare variables i and j as integers.
The outer loop runs from 65 to 69 (corresponding to ASCII values of 'A' to 'E').
Within the outer loop, the inner loop is used to print the characters. It runs from 69 to 65 (corresponding to ASCII values of 'E' to 'A').
In each iteration of the inner loop, an if statement is used to check if the current value of i is equal to the current value of j. If they are equal, a "*" is printed. Otherwise, the character represented by the current value of j is printed.
After printing the characters (and the "*" symbol) in the inner loop for each row, a newline character (\n) is printed to move to the next line.
The outer loop continues until i reaches the value of 69, printing the desired pattern.
The program ends with the return 0; statement.

The program uses nested loops to print a pattern where each row contains a sequence of characters starting from 'E' and decrementing down to 'A', with an asterisk (*) appearing diagonally from the top-left to the bottom-right. The position of the asterisk is determined by the condition i == j, where i and j represent the current row and column indices, respectively.

I hope this explanation clarifies the code and helps you understand how the pattern is generated in the provided C program.

💯 Tips for Enhancement:

Explore the versatility of this pattern by adjusting its parameters. Whether you increase or decrease the size, tweak the spacing, or modify the characters used, each change opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to customize and create your unique visual effects.
