Star-Alphabet Hybrid Hexagon
This program prints a hexagon combining stars and alphabets alternately.
Problem Statement
Write a Java program that prints a hollow hexagon where odd rows have stars and even rows have alphabets.
Source Code
| 1 | public class StarAlphabetHexagon { |
| 2 | public static void main(String[] args) { |
| 3 | int n = 6; |
| 4 | for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) { |
| 5 | for(int j=i; j<n; j++) System.out.print(" "); |
| 6 | for(int j=1; j<=n; j++) { |
| 7 | if(i%2==1) System.out.print("* "); |
| 8 | else System.out.print((char)('A'+j-1) + " "); |
| 9 | } |
| 10 | System.out.println(); |
| 11 | } |
| 12 | } |
| 13 | } |

A B C D E F
Explanation
The condition i%2==1 decides whether the current row prints a row of stars or a row of alphabets, so odd rows show stars and even rows show sequential alphabets, forming an alternating hexagon.
