C Programming For your fifth programming assignment you will

C++ Programming.. For your fifth programming assignment, you will write a program that will ask the user to enter a character and a number. If the number is even, the program should draw a hollow square composed of the character with the width the same as the number entered; if it\'s odd then it should draw a right triangle with the height the same as the number entered. Nested loops, good program structure, and indentation are required. USE ONLY \"WHILE/ELSE/IF LOOPS\" , NO \"FOR LOOPS\". Thanks.

Solution

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   char character;
   int number,row,col;
  
   cout<<\"\ Enter the character\";
   cin>>character;
  
   cout<<\"\ Enter the number\";
   cin>>number;
   cout<<endl;
  
  
   if(number%2 == 0) //number is even
   {
       row=1;
   while (row <= number)
   {
      col=1;
   while(col <= number)
   {
           if (row > 1 && row < number && col > 1 && col < number) //for row > 1 to number -1 and col > 1 and number -1 print space
               cout << \" \";
           else
           cout << character; //print character for first row,last row first column and last column
           col++;
       }
       cout << \"\ \";
       row++;
   }
  
   }
  
  
else if(number%2 !=0) //number is odd
{
   row=1;
   while(row <= number)
   {
      col=1;
      while(col<= row) //col increases with rows
      {
          cout<<character;
          col++;
      }
      row++;
      cout<< \"\ \";
     
   }
}
  
   return 0;
}

output:
