Square Pattern of any Character in C

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

• for loop in C

Square pattern of character in C

The program simply asks the user to enter the character that you want to print and the side of a square that is to be printed. And using that information inside a for loop, it prints the result.

#include <stdio.h>

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

  printf("Enter the character you want to print: ");
  scanf("%c", &ch);

  printf("Enter the side of a Square: ");
  scanf("%d", &rows);

  for (i = 1; i <= rows; i++)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= rows; j++)
      printf("%c ", ch);

    printf("\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the character you want to print: $
Enter the side of a Square: 5
$ $ $ $ $
$ $ $ $ $
