Logic to print box number pattern with cross center

Before moving on to this pattern I recommend you to go through the previous number pattern to get yourself acquainted with the number patterns logic.

Now, once you are acquainted with basic of number pattern. If you look to this pattern carefully you will notice a special pattern in which 1's gets printed here. Actually, 1's only gets printed in one of two conditions:

1. If the current column equals to current row.
2. If the current column equals (total columns+1) - current row.

Hence, to print the given pattern you just need to check these two conditions and if these satisfies then print 1 otherwise 0.

Program to print box number pattern with cross center

/**
 * C program to print box number pattern with cross center
 */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int rows, cols, i, j;

    /*
     * Reads number of rows, columns to be printed
     */
    printf("Enter number of rows: ");
    scanf("%d", &rows);
    printf("Enter number of columns: ");
    scanf("%d", &cols);

    for(i=1; i<=rows; i++)
    {
        for(j=1; j<=cols; j++)
        {
            if(i == j || (j == (cols+1)-i))
            {
                printf("1");
            }
            else
            {
                printf("0");
            }
        }

        printf("\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

and many more just change the inner two printf() statements...

Happy coding ;)
