Thread: Printing Patterns

So we were asked to make a program converting Hex values into decimals then printing a pattern for the result Eg.
input: 0x12
desired Output:
* *****
* *
* *****
* * *
* *****
my output:
*
*
*
*
*
*****
*
*****
* *
*****


How do I place them horizontally?
P.S. I made a switch case and manually typed the patterns in printf. Please be easy on me, I'm just a beginner.
Thanks in advance

I would like to help but your question is incomprehensible.

What does "converting hex values into decimals" mean? 0x12 in decimal is 18. I don't see any conversion.

What does "printing a pattern for the result" mean? What kind of pattern? You seem to have printed a bunch of random asterisks.

It appears the OP wants to print the number symbols using asterisks; e.g. 18 would be:

Code:

* *****
* *   *
* *****
* *   *
* *****

@OP: Notice how code tags helps preserve spacing when illustrating such ideas.

First the kitty, now this! You're good at seeing patterns. That makes sense of the question about placing them "horizontally".
