half dia pattern c++ reverse

[seghrein2300]

How can I like reverse this pattern? to look like this? https://imgur.com/a/TGlvIvK

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int trev, j, inpuT, column;
    cout<<"Enter number of columns:";
    cin>>inpuT;
    columns=1;
    for(trev=1;trev<inpuT*2;trev++){
    for(j=1; j<=column; j++){
    cout<<"* ";
         }
    if(trev < inpuT){
    column++;
    }
    else{
    column--;
    }
    cout<<"\n";
    }
     return 0;
 }

If your code doesn't even compile as posted, who knows what you're seeing.

Study what I did here with the "+ "

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  int trev, j, inpuT, column;
  cout << "Enter number of columns:";
  cin >> inpuT;
  column = 1;
  for (trev = 1; trev < inpuT * 2; trev++) {
    for (j = 1; j <= column; j++) {
      cout << "* ";
    }
    for (j = column + 1; j < inpuT; j++)
      cout << "+ ";
    if (trev < inpuT) {
      column++;
    } else {
      column--;
    }
    cout << "\n";
  }
  return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main()
{
	size_t col {};

	const auto disrow {[](auto no) {
		for (size_t j = 1; j <= no; ++j)
			std::cout << "* ";

		std::cout << '\n';
	}};

	const auto just {[&](auto no) {
		std::cout << std::setw((col * 2 - no) * 2) << std::setfill(' ') << "";
		disrow(no);
	}};

	std::cout << "How many columns: ";
	std::cin >> col;

	for (size_t i = 1; i <= col; ++i)
		disrow(i);

	for (size_t i = col - 1; i > 0; --i)
		disrow(i);

	for (size_t i = 1; i <= col; ++i)
		just(i);

	for (size_t i = col - 1; i > 0; --i)
		just(i);
}
