Doubt in method of ques 7

#1

I’m able to do question 7 pattern but not in the same way as of other patterns. I’ve used the method of columns here instead of nst and nsp.
Can you tell me how to do it using nst and nsp?

#2

hey @rg361 you really dont have to use nst and nsp to make this pattern. Just do using column.

@rg361 Here is my Solution for this Pattern :

import java.util.*;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = sc.nextInt();
        for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
            //printing First star 
            System.out.print("* ");
            //checking if the row is first or last. If it is then we need to print Line of stars otherwise spaces
            if(i == n-1 || i == 0){
                for(int j = 0; j < n-2 ; j++){
                    System.out.print("* ");
                }
            }else{
                //iff not we need to print n-2 spaces
                for(int j = 0; j < n-2; j++){
                    System.out.print("  ");
                }
            }
            //printing last star
            System.out.print("* ");
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}
