asterisk algorithm

[joewin]

Guys, help me.
Give me some hints on how to do this program . . .
a program that will print an asterisks and zeroes one-at-a-time and will to print like the following pattern.

**0**

*0*0*

0*0*0

*0*0*

**0**

You could always:

printf("**00**\ n");

and use a separate printf for each pattern.

If you can't do this, then there must be some required things left out of your problem description

Are you using C or C++?

Yes, the above pattern can be printed using output statements. However, you may also use loops for this. Try to mention your approach/code you are using.

Some idea: In the 2nd line, you can observer that 0s are present at even places [*2*4*] and in the 3rd line at odd places [1*3*5] etc. So, declare an array of length 5 and use the modulus operator to check for even and odd places and assign the value of 0 to them, the rest of the array can contain *.
