Chapter 1, Problem 14E

Explanation of Solution

Program code:

//Program named as Lanterns

public class Lanterns

{

    //Main method for the Lanterns class

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //call the static methods

        tripleOne();

        blankSpace();

        tripleOne();

        vertline();

        Thirdline();

        tripleOne();

        blankSpace();

        tripleOne();

        Firstline();

        vertline();

        vertline();

        Firstline();

        Firstline();

    }

    //method to compute the First line

    private static void Firstline()

    {

        //print the stars

        System.out.println(" *****");

    }

    //method to compute the THIRD line

       private static void Thirdline()

    {

        //print the stars

        System.out.println("*************");

    }

    //method to compute the TRIPLE one

    private static void tripleOne()

    {

        //call the method Firstline()

        Firstline();

        //print the stars

        System.out.println(" *********");

        //call the method Thirdline()

        Thirdline();

    }

    //method for the vertical One

    private static void vertline()

    {

        //print the vertical
