# Spiral Grid Pattern
This program creates a square grid (like a chessboard) and fills it with a spiral pattern. It then prints the grid using stars (`*`) and spaces.
## Overview
1. **Ask for a Number**: The program starts by asking for a number, `N`. This number determines the size of the grid. For example, if you enter `5`, the grid will be `5 rows by 5 columns`.
2. **Create the Grid**: The program initializes an empty grid with `N` rows and `N` columns. Initially, all spots in the grid are set to `0`.
3. **Draw the Spiral**:
- The program starts at the top-left corner of the grid.
- It moves right, then down, then left, and then up, creating a spiral shape.
- Each time it moves, it changes the `0` in the grid to a `1` to mark the path of the spiral.
4. **Print the Grid**:
- The program iterates through each spot in the grid.
- If the spot has a `1`, it prints a space (` `).
- If the spot has a `0`, it prints a star (`*`).
## Example
If you enter `50`, the program will create a `50x50` grid and fill it with a spiral pattern. The output will look like this:
