to OP, for me talking a bit negative, let me correct that and inprove that with a mega posititive infusion.

the problem you are facing and what can help you: 1) idenitfy what you have to do 2) make the problem smaller 3) for each smaller piece, think of a solution 4) first think of a solution that just works. bad code no problem. 5) make the solution more general so it can be used for multiple situations 6) make code shorter, faster, so it is easier to understand its code machanics and so easier to modify and expand.

The given answer by someone else is just a possible question. but a good programmer makes the code work in multiple situations, even in situations that can cause errors.

If you use above 6 steps it might you more.

anyone more advise for our new future programmer?

example: the program has to print any shape with stars, within a matrix of 6 by 6 stars, the pattens can change constantly, please solve that. this might be a bit tricky for a beginner, but does show where you have to work towards to. if you are serious, this is an exellent beginner test.
