Last update on August 21 2025 12:53:46 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a C# Sharp program to display an alphabet pattern like A with an asterisk.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

C# Sharp Code:

using System;  // Importing necessary namespace

public class Exercise58  // Declaration of the Exercise58 class
{  
    public static void Main()  // Main method, entry point of the program
    {
        int row, column;  // Declaration of integer variables for rows and columns

        // Display a message about the pattern being created
        Console.Write("\n\n");
        Console.Write("Display the pattern like 'A' with an asterisk:\n");
        Console.Write("---------------------------------------------");
        Console.Write("\n\n");   

        // Loop for iterating through rows
        for (row = 0; row <= 7; row++)
        {
            // Loop for iterating through columns
            for (column = 0; column <= 7; column++)
            {
                // Check conditions to print '*' or ' ' for specific positions
                if (((column == 1 || column == 5) && row != 0) || 
                    ((row == 0 || row == 3) && (column > 1 && column < 5)))
                {
                    Console.Write("*");  // Print '*' for specific conditions
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.Write(" ");  // Print ' ' for other positions
                }
            }
            Console.Write("\n");  // Move to the next line after each row is printed
        }

        Console.Write("\n");  // Add an extra line at the end for better readability
    }
}

Sample Output:

Display the pattern like 'A' with an asterisk:                                                              
---------------------------------------------                                                                  
  ***                                                                                                   
 *   *                                                                                                   
 *   *                                                                                                   
 *****                                                                                                   
 *   *                                                                                                   
 *   *                                                                                                   
 *   *
