This program will only have 1 class with a single method, just main(). We want to practice for and switch statements.
Your program will print a variety of patterns:
Prompt the user for the type of pattern and the size of the pattern
Use a switch statement (not if-else if) to determine which pattern to print
Let N be the size of the pattern
Pattern type 1 print N *s
Pattern type 2 print 1 to N (with a space after each number)
Pattern type 3 print a right triangle of *s. The first line has 1 *, the second line has 2 *s, and so on, up to the Nth line with N *s
Pattern type 4 print a curve pattern (2 triangles, one on top of another). The first line is N *s, the second line is 1 space and N-1 *s until you get to a single *. Then reverse the printing. See sample run 4 for an example of N=3.
Use for loops to print the patterns
If you would like to make one of the patterns using a do..while instead of a for loop, you may. That would allow you to practice a dowhile loop. But keep in mind that for this kind of problem, for loops would be the best choice.
Print a message If the user enters an invalid pattern choice
Requirements:
All numbers entered are integers
Put System.out.println() after the prompt line. This will help you match the Test Program and make it easier to use it.

Sample Run #2: (the highlighted text is what the user types)
