Pattern to print X in a rectangular box

Last Updated : 20 Feb, 2023

Given the value of length, print the X pattern in a box using # and " "

Examples:

Input  :   10 
Output :   ##########
           ##      ##
           # #    # #
           #  #  #  #
           #   ##   #
           #   ##   #
           #  #  #  #
           # #    # #
           ##      ##
           ##########
           
Input  :   7 
Output :   #######
           ##   ##
           # # # #  
           #  #  #
           # # # #
           ##   ##
           #######

Below is the implementation to print X in a rectangular box pattern:

C++

// CPP code to print the above
// specified pattern
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to print pattern
void pattern(int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
            if (i == 0 || i == n - 1 || 
                j == 0 || j == n - 1 || 
                i == j || i == n - 1 - j)             
                cout << "#";            

            else 
                cout << " ";
            
        }

        cout << endl;
    }
}

// Driver program
int main()
{
    int n = 9;
    pattern(n);
    return 0;
}

        {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) 
            {
                if (i == 0 || i == n - 1 || 
                    j == 0 || j == n - 1 || 
                    i == j || i == n - 1 - j)             
                    System.out.print("#");         
    
                else
                    System.out.print(" ");
                
            }

        }
    }
