One interesting application of computers is the drawing of graphs and bar charts. Write a program that reads five numbers (each between 1 and 30 ). Assume that the user enters only valid values. For each number that is read. your program should print a line containing that number of adjacent asterisks. For example, if your program reads the number $7,$ it should print $x * * * *$

Key Concepts

Input/Output Handling

This concept involves reading data from the user and displaying results. In many programs, input/output functions are used to accept user data (in this case, numbers) and then print outputs accordingly. Understanding how to handle input and output is essential for interactive applications.

Iteration and Looping

Iteration is a fundamental programming concept that allows a program to execute a set of instructions repeatedly. In this scenario, loops are used to process each of the five input numbers and to generate a corresponding line of asterisks. This includes iterating through a fixed number of inputs as well as possibly using nested loops to print the asterisks based on the value of each number.

Repetition Constructs

Repetition constructs, such as 'for loops' or 'while loops', enable the program to perform repeated actions without code duplication. In the context of this problem, these constructs simplify the task by automating the printing of asterisks proportional to the input value, which is a common approach in creating text-based visual representations.

Text-Based Data Visualization

Text-based data visualization refers to the method of representing data visually using plain text characters. In this case, asterisks are used to create simple bar charts or graphs that visually demonstrate the magnitude of each input number. This approach helps in understanding the data structure without the need for complex graphical tools.
