Program to print the pattern “GFG”

Last Updated : 13 Oct, 2021

In this article, given the value of n(length of the alphabet) and k(width of the alphabet) we will learn how to print the pattern “GFG” using stars and white-spaces.
Examples:

INPUT: n=7, k=5
OUTPUT:
***** ***** *****
*     *     *
*     *     *
* **  ***** * ***
*  *  *     *   *
*  *  *     *   *
***** *     *****

INPUT: n=11, k=7
OUTPUT:
*******  ******* *******
*        *       *
*        *       *
*        *       *
*        *       *
* *****  ******* * *****
*     *  *       *     *
*     *  *       *     *
*     *  *       *     *
*     *  *       *     *
