Question

Write a program to print the following pattern:

* *  *  * *  *  *  * * *  *  * *

Answer 1

     Top half`{{:((                    ∗,                     2 "space", 1 "star")),((          ∗, ∗, ∗,          1"space", 3 "star")), ((∗, ∗, ∗,∗, ∗,0"space",5"star")):}`

Bottom half`{{: ((          ∗,∗,∗)), (                    ∗):}`

# n = 3 Number of lines from top to middle of diamond shape
n = 3
for i in range (1, n + 1):
          # This will print the space  
    space = (n - i)*" "
          # It will print the star
    star =  (2 * i - 1)*"*"
    print(space,star)
# The bottom half will be drawn using this loop
for j in range(n - 1, 0, -1):
    space = (n - j)*" "
    star = (2 * j - 1)*"*"
    print(space, star)
