In Java, we can use for loop, while loop or do-while loops to print different number, alphabet or star pattern programs.
Here are some examples for character or letter pattern programs. For other patterns, please refer the links at the end of the post.
Java Character Pattern Program 1:

I am a complete beginner in programming and I am having difficulties to solve this problem.
Each letter is converted to the letter which
is 3 places after it in the alphabets. For example, A is converted to D.
The sequence is cyclic, that is, X is converted to A, Y to B and Z to C.
Write a java program that allows you to input a line of text and
outputs the encrypted version. The line of text is terminated by a ‘.’.
This is what I got so far:
import java.util.scanner
public class ReplaceString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
string str=”Meet me at Times Square tonight.”
System.out.println(str replace (all letters by the fourth letter found after it in alphabetical order,
a=d,
b=e,
c=f,
d=g,
e=h,
f=i,
g=j,))
// loop till alphabetical cycle is complete.
}
}
