Star patterns in C programming

Star patterns are a series of * or any other character used to create some pattern or any geometrical shape such as – square, triangle(Pyramid), rhombus, heart etc. These patterns are often prescribed by many programming books and are best for practicing flow control statement.

Many programmers around world extremely recommended pattern problems, to enhance logical thinking capabilities. As a novice programmer you must practice these patterns to get a good hands on logical thinking and program flow control.

In this exercise I have compiled a list of Star patterns to practice for beginners and intermediate programmers. I have tried my best to explain the logic of each pattern individually.

If you got stuck with some pattern or have some query or suggestion, always feel free to write it down below in the comments section. I always love to hear from you all.

Required knowledge
