Algorithm to print diamond shaped star?

Answer 1

To print a diamond-shaped star pattern, you can follow these steps in an algorithm:

1. Input the number of rows for the upper half of the diamond (let's call it n).
2. For the upper half, iterate from 1 to n:
   • Print n-i spaces followed by 2*i - 1 stars for each row i.
3. For the lower half, iterate from n-1 to 1:
   • Print n-i spaces followed by 2*i - 1 stars for each row i.

This will create a symmetrical diamond shape using stars.
