{
for(c=1; c<=z; c++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
}
for(r=1,y=2; r<=3; r++,y=y+2)
{
for(c=1; c<=y; c++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
}
for(r=1; r<=7; r++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
for(r=1,x=6; r<=3; r++,x=x-2)
{
for(c=1; c<=x; c++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
}
for(r=1,w=7; r<=4; r++,w=w-2)
{
for(c=1; c<=w; c++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
