Drawing a diamond within a circle, gets unexpected spacing after each character

[Loke]

Hello everyone, I am still fairly a beginner in C++, having only around 5 months of experience. This is actually a 3-part-question-assignment where I am first needed to display a diamond, then a circle (only its circumference) and finally a diamond within the circle.

This is my diamond's code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int x, y, radius=15;
	for (x = -radius; x <= radius; x++)																					
	{
		for (y = -radius; y <= radius; y++)
		{
			cout << ((abs(x) + abs(y) <= radius) ? "*" : " ");
		}
		cout << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

Here's my circle's code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	float r = 15;
	float y = r;
	float x;
	float r_in = r - 0.5;
	float r_out = r + 0.5;

	for (y = r; y >= -r; y--)
	{
		for (x = -r; x < r_out; x += 0.5)
		{
			float R = x * x + y * y;

			if (R >= r_in * r_in && R <= r_out * r_out)
			{
				cout << "*";
			}
			else
			{
				cout << ' ';
			}
		}
		cout << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

And finally this is the diamond within a circle's code:

int main()
{
	float r = 15;
	float y = r;
	float x;
	float r_in = r - 0.5;
	float r_out = r + 0.5;

	for (y = r; y >= -r; y--)
	{
		for (x = -r; x < r_out; x += 0.5)		
		
			if (((abs(x - 0.5)*1.395)) + ((abs(y)*0.55)) <= (r_out*0.55)) //Diamond
                                cout << "*";																			
			else
				cout << " ";

			float R = x * x + y * y;		                       //Circle
			if (R >= r_in * r_in && R <= r_out * r_out)
			{
				cout << "*";
			}
			else
			{
				cout << ' ';
			}
		}
		cout << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

(Those seemingly random values at the Diamond code are my attempts to keep the diamond in shape)
The first 2 codes are fine and all, but when it comes to the 3rd code, the circle gets horribly distorted and there's this weird spacing after each "*". I noticed that this happens after I (practically) copy pasted the Diamond code above the Circle's, but I have no idea what's the cause.

I'm sorry that this has turned out to be a lengthy problem, but any hints/advises is greatly appreciated.

	return 0;

// #include <math.h>  // C maths header
#include <cmath> // C++ maths header 

std::abs has overloads, it can handle floats and doubles as well as integral types :+)

@Loke

Don't use floating point numbers in conditions with loops, they aren't exact so you might get off by one errors despite using relational operators like < . Instead calculate how many times to loop as an int (61 in your case) , then use that value in the loop.
