Question

please solve using python thank you!

Write a program which prompts the user to enter a number of rows, and prints a hollow square star pattern with 2 diagonals. Note: you can assume that the integer will always be > 1 and will be an odd number. For example: Input Result 5 Enter number of rows: 5 ***** ** ** * * * ** ** ***** 9 Enter number of rows: 9 ** ** ** * * * * * * * * * * ** ** *********

Answer:

Here is the source code.

#reading no.of rows
rows=int(input("Enter No.of rows:"))
#condition checking
if(rows>1 and rows%2!=0):
i=1
#while loop for rows
while(i<=rows):
j=1
#while loop for columns
while(j<=rows):
#printing *
if(i==1 or i==rows or j==1 or j==rows or j==(rows-i+1) or i==j):
print("*",end="")
else:
print(" ",end="")
#increment
j=j+1
print("\n")
i=i+1
else:
print("Must be greater than 1 and odd number\n")

Screenshot:

1 main.py rows=int(input("Enter No.of rows: ")) 2- if(rows>1 and rows%2!=0): 3 i=1 4. while(i<=rows): 5 j=1 6 while(j<=rows): 7- if(i==1 or i==rows or j==1 or jarows or j==(rows - i+1) or i==j): 8 print("*", end="") 9 else: 10 print(" ", end="") 11 j=j+1 12 print("\n") 13 i=i+1 14- else: 15 print("Must be greater than 1 and odd number\n") input Enter No.1 COWS: 5

Hope you understand and like the answer.
