Program:

#include <stdio.h> //include header file.

int main() //defining main method

{

char i,j; //defining variable

for (i='a'; i<='e'; i++) //outer loop for column

{

for (j='a'; j<='e'; j++) //inner loop for row

{

printf("%c%c\\",i,j); //print value

}

}

return 0;

}

Output:

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the above C language program, firstly a header file is included. Then the main method is defined in this, a method contains a char variable that is "i and j". This variable is used in for loop, that is used to print the pattern.
• To print the following patter two for loop is used the outer loop is used for print columns and the inner loop prints row.
• In C language to print character, we use "%c" inside a loop print function is used, that prints characters.
