How to print backslash in java: Are you wondering how to seek help from subject matter experts and learn the Java language? Go with these Basic Java Programming Examples and try to code all of them on your own then check with the exact code provided by expert programmers.

Approach:

  • Enter total row and store it an integer variable say row.
  • Take first for loop to print all the rows.
  • Take a inner loop to print the column values.
  • Then go on printing the star symbols according to the iteration.

JAVA Code:

Method-1 : Static Star Character

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Take user input for no fo rows 
    System.out.print("Enter the no of rows = ");
    Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
    int r,c,row;
    // store the input value in row
    row=sc.nextInt();
    // loop for no of rows
   for(r=1; r<=row; r++)
   {   
       // inner loop to print symbol
      for(c=1; c<=row; c++)
      {   
          // if row and column have same value print symbol     
         if(r==c)      
            System.out.print("* ");      
         else          
            System.out.print("  ");      
      } 
      System.out.println("");
   } 
    }
}


Output:

Enter the no of rows = 5

Method-2 : User Input Character

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
    	 int r,c,row;
    	// Take user input for no fo rows 
    	Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
    	// store the input value in row
    	System.out.print("Enter the no of rows : ");
        row=sc.nextInt();
        // enter random character
    	System.out.print("Enter symbol : ");
    	char s=sc.next().charAt(0);
        // loop for no of rows
        for(r=1; r<=row; r++)
        {   
           // inner loop to print symbol
          for(c=1; c<=row; c++)
          {   
              // if row and column have same value print symbol     
             if(r==c)      
                System.out.print(s+" ");      
             else          
                System.out.print("  ");      
          } 
          System.out.println("");
        } 
    }
}


Output:

Enter the no of rows : 5

Enter symbol : #
#
  #
     #
        #
           #

Explanation:

Let’s understand the program will detailed explanation.

Let we have taken row as 5.

Iteration-I

Star pattern in java: r=1 (passed through first for loop condition) which will execute till r<=row.

Now inner for loop will execute 1 time and prints a symbol (if column value and row value are same) otherwise a space, which will iterate till c<=row.

*

Iteration-II

r=2 (passed through first for loop condition) which will execute till r<=row.

Now inner for loop will execute 2 time and prints a symbol (if column value and row value are same) otherwise a space, which will iterate till c<=row

 *

Iteration-III

r=3 (passed through first for loop condition) which will execute till r<=row. Now inner for loop will execute 3 time and prints a symbol (if column value and row value are same) otherwise a space, which will iterate till c<=row.

  *

Iteration-IV

r=4 (passed through first for loop condition) which will execute till r<=row. Now inner for loop will execute 4 time and prints a symbol (if column value and row value are same) otherwise a space, which will iterate till c<=row.

   *

Iteration-V

r=5 (passed through first for loop condition) which will execute till r<=row. Now inner for loop will execute 5 time and prints a symbol (if column value and row value are same) otherwise a space, which will iterate till c<=row.

    *

Now r=6 , so first for loop condition fails. Ans no more for loop inside that will be executed. At last we will see a pattern like this as output in the output screen.

C Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int r,c,k,row;
   printf("Enter the no of rows = ");
   scanf("%d",&row);
   for(r=1; r<=row; r++)
   {    
      for(c=1; c<=row; c++)
      {        
         if(r==c)      
            printf("* ");      
         else          
            printf("  ");      
      }        
      printf("\n");
   }    
   return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no of rows = 5

C++ Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int r,c,row;
   cout<<"Enter the no of rows = ";
   cin>>row;
   for(r=1; r<=row; r++)
   {    
      for(c=1; c<=row; c++)
      {        
         if(r==c)      
            cout<<("* ");      
         else          
            cout<<("  ");      
      }        
      cout<<("\n");
   }    
   return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no of rows = 5
