Approach:

Enter total row and store it in an integer variable row.
Take first for loop to print the row value and a star for each row.
Take first inner for loop to print column value i.e., star according to condition
if ((r == 0) || (r == row / 2 && c <= row / 2))
Then go on printing the star symbol according to loop.

JAVA Code:

Static Star Character
User Input Character

Method-1 : Static Star Character

import java.util.*;

public class Main 
{    
    public static void main(String args[])   
    {   
    // taking variable for loop iteration and row .
    int row,r,c,d;
    
    //creating object 
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    
    // entering the number of row
    System.out.print("Enter rows : ");
    row = s.nextInt();
    
    //outer for loop 
    for (r = 0; r < row; r++) 
    {
        System.out.print("*");
        // inner for loop
        for (c = 0; c < row; c++)
        {
            // printing star
            if ((r == 0) || (r == row / 2 && c <= row / 2))
                System.out.print("*");
            // printing space
            else
                continue;
        }
        System.out.print("\n");
    }
    }
}

Output :

Enter row :  5

Method-2 : User Input Character

import java.util.*;

public class Main 
{    
    public static void main(String args[])   
    {   
    // taking variable for loop iteration and row .
    int row,r,c,d;
    char f;
    
    //creating object 
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    
    // entering the number of row
    System.out.print("Enter rows : ");
    row = s.nextInt();
    
    // entering any random character
    System.out.print("Enter character : ");
    f = s.next().charAt(0);
    
    //outer for loop 
    for (r = 0; r < row; r++) 
    {
        System.out.print(f);
        // inner for loop
        for (c = 0; c < row; c++)
        {
            // printing star
            if ((r == 0) || (r == row / 2 && c <= row / 2))
                System.out.print(f);
            // printing space
            else
                continue;
        }
        System.out.print("\n");
    }
    }
}

Output :

Enter row :  5 
Enter character : #

######
#
####
#

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
   int r, row, c ,d;
   printf("Enter rows: ");
   scanf("%d", &row);
   for (r = 0; r < row; r++) 
    {
         printf("*");
        for (c = 0; c < row; c++)
        {
            if ((r == 0) || (r == row / 2 && c <= row / 2))
               printf("*");
            else
                continue;
        }
         printf("\n");
    }
   return 0;
}

Output :

Enter row :  5

C++ Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   int row, r , c ,d ;
   cout << "Enter  rows: ";
   cin >> row;
    for (r = 0; r < row; r++) 
    {
        cout << "*";
        for (c = 0; c < row; c++)
        {
            if ((r == 0) || (r == row / 2  && c <= row / 2))
                cout << "*";
            else
                continue;
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
   return 0;
}

Output :

Enter row :  5
