Write a function named printPattern that takes three arguments: a character and two integers. The character is to be printed. The first integer specifies the number of times that the character is to be printed on a line (repetitions), and the second integer specifies the number of lines that are to be printed. Also, your function must return an integer indicating the number of lines multiplied by the number of repetitions. Write a program that makes use of this function. That is in the main function you must read the inputs from the user (the character, and the two integers) and then call your function to do the printing.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main

{

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    char c;

    int n1, n2;

 System.out.print("Enter the character: ");

 c = input.next().charAt(0);

 System.out.print("Enter the number of times that the character is to be printed on a line: ");

 n1 = input.nextInt();

 System.out.print("Enter the number of lines that are to be printed: ");

 n2 = input.nextInt();

 printPattern(c, n1, n2);

}

public static int printPattern(char c, int n1, int n2){

    for (int i=0; i<n2; i++){

        for (int j=0; j<n1; j++){

            System.out.print(c);

        }

        System.out.println();

    }

    return n1 * n2;

}

}

Explanation:

*The code is in Java.

Create a function named printPattern that takes one character c, and two integers n1, n2 as parameters

Inside the function:

Create a nested for loop. Since n2 represents the number of lines, the outer loop needs to iterate n2 times. Since n1 represents the number of times that the character is to be printed, the inner loop iterates n1 times. Inside the inner loop, print the c. Also, to have a new line after the character is printed n1 times on a line, we need to write a print statement after the inner loop.

Return the n1 * n2

Inside the main:

Declare the variables

Ask the user to enter the values for c, n1 and n2

Call the function with these values
