Algorithm to print hut star pattern
Printing a hut star pattern is a two step process.
Printing a hut star pattern is a two step process.
- Step 1: Print pyramid star pattern for top 5 rows. Check this c program to print pyramid star pattern.
- Step 2: Print the bottom half of the hut. Each row of the bottom half of hut contains 3 stars then three space characters followed by 3 stars.
Here is the matrix representation of the Hut star pattern. The row numbers are represented by i whereas column numbers are represented by j.
C program to print Hut star pattern on screen
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int i, j, space, rows = 8, star = 0;
/* Printing upper triangle */
for (i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
if (i < 5) {
/* Printing upper triangle */
for (space = 1; space < 5 - i; space++) {
printf(" ");
}
/* Printing stars */
while (star != (2 * i + 1)) {
printf("*");
star++;;
}
star = 0;
/* move to next row */
printf("\n");
} else {
/* Printing bottom walls of huts */
for (j = 0; j < 9; j++) {
if ((int) (j / 3) == 1)
printf(" ");
else
printf("*");
}
printf("\n");
}
}
return 0;
}
