Fun Programs :D

[hannad]

Hello Beginners Like me.
I thought that I could give you some programs to do that I used to have a problem with them, because I didn't have the idea on what is the basic structure of the program. Anyway have fun doing them :D.

Program Number 1.

Make a program that will output the shape of a rectangular. The numbers of star on a single side of the square should be an input by the user.

Example

Enter The Number of Stars on The Side : 5

*****
*   *
*   *
*   *
*****

Program Number 2.

Make a program that will output the shape of the letter "X". The numbers of star on each diagonal line should be an input by the user.

Example

Enter The Number of Stars on The Diagonal Lines : 5

*   *
 * *
  *  
 * * 
*   *

Program Number 3.

Make the following shapes. Also the number of rows should be an input by the user.

   3.A            3.B

            |            
    *       |         *
   **       |        **
  ***       |       * *
 ****       |      *  *
*****       |     *****

Good Luck.

=EDIT= I forgot to give you a hint for the source codes.
All 4 of them consist of 2 nested for loops, using 2 variables.

Simply out of curiosity, you're not expecting us to just code this then post the source codes on here for you, are you?

[hannad]

I don't want the source codes. I want each one of the beginners to see if he can do this on his own. Thank you for reminding me. No one posts his source here. I have solved the first two examples before. 3.A is easy peasy :D. 3.B I just invented. Hehe

Again Good Luck.

An added challenge: Solve 2 and 3A by recursion!

That's a bit hard :D. For me I mean. Cuz I still haven't got the full idea of recursion!

Very usefull, thank you.

If that's for me, then no problem buddy. Hope you can do them :D
