American Flag Display
Write a Java program to print an American flag on the screen.
Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
public class Exercise14 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Print a pattern of asterisks and equal signs to create a design
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println(" * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println(" * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println(" * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println(" * * * * * ==================================");
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
// Print a row of equal signs to complete the design
System.out.println("==============================================");
System.out.println("==============================================");
System.out.println("==============================================");
System.out.println("==============================================");
System.out.println("==============================================");
System.out.println("==============================================");
}
}
Sample Output:
* * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ==============================================
Flowchart:
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Define pattern strings for the top and middle sections
String p1 = "* * * * * * ==================================\n * * * * * ==================================";
String p2 = "==============================================";
// Print the top section pattern 4 times
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
System.out.println(p1);
}
// Print the bottom section pattern once
System.out.println("* * * * * * ==================================");
// Print the middle section pattern 6 times
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
System.out.println(p2);
}
}
}
Output:
* * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== * * * * * ================================== * * * * * * ================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== ==============================================
