In this tutorial, we will write a C program to print a square star pattern. Before that, you may go through the following topics in C.

Square Star pattern in C

The program takes the user input for the number of rows and uses that in a for loop.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int i, j, rows;

  printf("Enter the no. of rows: ");
  scanf("%d", &rows);

  for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= rows; j++)
      printf("* ");

    printf("\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the no. of rows: 5
