Print a straight line spiral pattern as shown in the example below. Please use the * (asterisk) and . (dot) characters.
Input
You are given t - the number of test cases and for each of the test cases one integer: s, 3<s<100 - the size of the shape.
Output
For each of the test cases output the requested pattern. Use one line break in between successive patterns.
Example
Input: 5 4 5 11 13 78 Output: **** ...* *..* **** ***** ....* ***.* *...* ***** *********** ..........* ***.*****.* *.*.*...*.* *.*.***.*.* *.*...*.*.* *.*.***.*.* *.*.....*.* *.*******.* *.........*

It's simple. After you do spiral pattern 1 and 2, just use them alternatively. I used recursion on both previous problems so it was very easy. Just had to change 2 characters from previous code. |

Looks like a question in the IQ test. |

How is this pattern arranged?row wise or column wise?

I don't see the pattern. how would you guys decribe it? |

You should check for s=7 and s=8. |

I used the text-compare.com to see if my output from ideone.com matches with the output given by the problem above. The result says that @The two texts are identical!@ but I am unable to see the answer so I guess there are more test cases which fail because I can't see them :( |
