Question

Modify your program from the previous exercise so that it uses a global constant for the figure’s height. (You may want to make loop tables first.) The previous output used a constant height of 6. The following are the outputs for constant heights of 4 and 8:

Answer

Program:

public class Ch02Ex17
{
	public static final int HEIGHT = 8;

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		for (int r = 1; r <= HEIGHT; r++)
		{
			for (int c = 1; c <= 2 * r - 2; c++)
			{
				System.out.print("\\");
			}

			for (int c = 1; c <= 4 * HEIGHT - 4 * r + 2; c++)
			{
				System.out.print("!");
			}

			for (int c = 1; c <= 2 * r - 2; c++)
			{
				System.out.print("/");
			}

			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

Output:
