diamond shape

[ENyU7k9E]

how can we make a diamond shape by using nested loops only......??

Yes, if you search in the forums you may find some examples
The only thing you need is to understand the logic behind it
eg:

    *     4 spaces 1 star
   ***    3 spaces 3 stars
  *****   2 spaces 5 stars
 *******  1 space 7 stars
********* 9 stars
 *******  same as above
  *****
   ***
    *

    *     4 spaces 1 star
   ***    3 spaces 3 stars
  *****   2 spaces 5 stars
 *******  1 space 7 stars
********* 0 spaces 9 stars
 *******  same as above
  *****
   ***
    *

well one loop could deal with spaces, the other could deal with stars ?

Start by making a triangle.
