i just need the sequencial logic for writing the program and not the whole program please i only need just some hints

I also changed this topic's title: 'Urgent" is not an appropriate topic title. Talking
about urgent: why is this so urgent?

kind regards,

can u just give me some hints Please

can u just give me some hints Please

Watch closely because the following is much more than a hint; it's a complete
giveaway:

[code=java]
private static boolean isStar(int x, int y) { return true; }

private static void square(int N) {
for (int x= 0; x < N; x++) {
for (int y= 0; y < N; y++)
System.out.prin t(isStar(x, y)?'*' : ' ');
System.out.prin tln();
}
}
[/code]

The isStar() method returns true when at a certain position x, y a star should be
printed; otherwise it returns false. My implementation is a dummy implementation.

The square() method prints a square of size N. It consults the isStar() method for
every position x,y whether or not it should print a star or a space.

Now all you have to do is come up with a correct implementation of the isStar()
method.

kind regards,
