How to print Hollow Square Pattern in Go


How to print Hollow Square Pattern in Go ?

Answer

To print a Hollow Square Pattern in Go, you can use nested loops. The outer loop controls the rows, and the inner loop controls the columns. Conditions are used to determine whether to print stars or spaces for the pattern.



✐ Examples

1 Print Hollow Square Pattern

In this example,

  1. We define a function named printHollowSquare that takes the side length n as a parameter.
  2. We use two nested for loops, one for rows and one for columns, to iterate through each cell of the square.
  3. Within the loops, we use conditions to check if we are at the border or inside the square, printing stars (*) for the border and spaces ( ) for the inside.
  4. Finally, we call printHollowSquare with the desired side length to print the pattern.

Go Program

package main
import "fmt"

func printHollowSquare(n int) {
    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
        var row string
        for j := 0; j < n; j++ {
            if i == 0 || i == n-1 || j == 0 || j == n-1 {
                row += "*"
            } else {
                row += " "
            }
        }
        fmt.Println(row)
    }
}

func main() {
    sideLength := 5
    printHollowSquare(sideLength)
}
