### Solution Codes
```c
# Chars: 46
main(){for(int i=0;i<4;i++)puts("* * * * *");}
# Chars: 40
main(i){for(;i<5;i++)puts("* * * * *");}
# Chars: 39
main(i){for(;++i<6;)puts("* * * * *");}
```
#### Calculate number of characters of file
```bash
$ cat <filename>.c | sed -z '$ s/\n$//' | wc -c
```
#### Compile the program
```bash
$ gcc <filename>.c -o <output_filename>
# Result for Chars: 46

+++ |+#include <stdio.h>
1 | main(){for(int i=0;i<4;i++)puts("* * * * *");}
```
#### Run the program
```bash
