Chapter 1, Problem 13E

Explanation of Solution

Program code:

//Program named as StarFigures

public class StarFigures

{

    //Main method for the StarFigures class

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //call the static methods

        First();

        Second();

        System.out.println();

        First();

        Second();

        First();

        System.out.println();

        Third();

        First();

        Second();

    }

    //method to compute the First pattern

    private static void First()

    {

        //print the stars

        System.out.println("*****");

        System.out.println("*****");

    }

    //method to compute the Second pattern

    private static void Second()

    {

        //print the stars

        System.out.println(" * * ");

        System...
