C code to print diamond

Answer 1

Here's a simple C code snippet to print a diamond shape using asterisks:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n = 5; // Number of rows for the upper half
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        for (int j = i; j < n; j++) printf(" ");
        for (int j = 1; j < 2 * i; j++) printf("*");
        printf("\n");
    }
    for (int i = n - 1; i >= 1; i--) {
        for (int j = n; j > i; j--) printf(" ");
        for (int j = 1; j < 2 * i; j++) printf("*");
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

This code creates a diamond shape with a specified number of rows in its upper half. Adjust the value of n to change the size of the diamond.
