Star-Numeric-Alphabet Lattice
This program prints a lattice alternating stars, numbers, and alphabets.
Problem Statement
Write a Java program that prints a 6x6 lattice alternating stars, numbers, and alphabets cyclically.
Source Code

Program Output
* 1 A * 2 B C * 3 D * 4 E F * 5 G * 6 H I * 7 J K 8 L M * 9 N O 10 P Q *
Explanation
The diagonal-based value (i+j)%3 cycles through star, number, and alphabet in that order, producing a lattice where the three symbol types repeat along anti-diagonal bands across the grid.
