Question

3. Write a method squareOfAsterisks that displays a solid square (the same number of rows and columns) of asterisks whose side is specified in integer parameter side. For example, if side is 4, the method should display **** **** **** **** Incorporate this method into an application that reads an integer value for side from the user and outputs the asterisks with the squareOfAsterisks method.

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the program to this question:

#include <iostream>//defining header file

using namespace std;

void squareOfAsterisks(int x) //defining method squareOfAsterisks

{

   int i,j; //defining integer variable

   for(i=1;i<=x;i++) //defining loop to print column value

   {

   for(j=1;j<=x;j++) //defining loop to print row value

   {

   cout<<"*"; //print value

   }

   cout<<endl; //for line break

   }

}

int main() //defining main method

{

int x; //defining integer variable

cout<<"Enter any number: "; //print message

cin>>x; //input value from user

squareOfAsterisks(x); //calling the method and pass the value

return 0;

}

Output:

Enter any number: 4

Explanation:

The description of the above program can be given as follows:

• In the given program a method "squareOfAsterisks" is declared, that accepts an integer value "x" in its arguments, inside the method two integer variable I, j is used, that uses a to print the given pattern.
• In the main method, an integer variable x is declared, which takes input from the user end, and then calls the method, that is "squareOfAsterisks" and passes its value.
