Need help with Program

Bball52 (4)
I have been trying to write a program that makes a tile pattern like this:

  ____        ____
 /    \      /    \
/      \____/      \
\      /    \      /
 \____/      \____/
 /    \      /    \
/      \____/      \
\      /    \      /
 \____/      \____/





using the info the user enters. but i cant figure out how to fix my code. The result I get when I run the program keeps giving the wrong amount of tiles.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there, I thought you're doing an interesting program so I edited you code. I am aware that it won't display the way you like it if the given width is even. I'll leave that for you to solve. Good luck, hope this helps..
