The star figure

Report a typo

Your task is to draw a star on the n×n field using the symbols . and *. n is odd and doesn't exceed 15.

To do this, you can follow the instructions:

  • Firstly, you need to create a two-dimensional array (matrix) from n×n elements by filling it with the . symbols. Each element of the matrix is a string containing a single symbol.
  • Secondly, fill the middle row of the matrix, the middle column, and the diagonals with the * symbols. As a result, all *'s in the array must form the star figure.
  • Thirdly, output this matrix; elements of the array should be space-separated.
