Hollow patern problem

#1

Plss tell me what i do in this pattern for correct input

#2

Can you upload the pic of the pattern.

#3

if you don’t have that option, can you specify which shape is this?

umm… The access is denied.
Can you tell if it is hollow diamond or rhombus?
I apologize for this inconvenience.

#6

it is hollow diamond

if you notice the pattern, the spaces are first increasing by 2 till the middle row and then starts decreasing by 2.
Similarly, in each row the number of * is equal to (n - no. of spaces in that row)

Now, if i examine your code, there is no change in the no. of spaces per row while going down the row.

Hint:
Initialize space with 1 for the second row

  1. if i==1 and i==n:
    print n no. of *

  2. if i<=(n/2):
    //to print * before spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<=n/2-space;j++)
    {
    cout<<""<<"\t";
    }
    //to print spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<2    space-1;j++)
    {
    cout<<" “<<”\t";
    }
    //to print * after spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<=n/2-space;j++)
    {
    cout<<"*"<<"\t";
    }
    // Now increment spaces for next row
    space+=1;

  3. if i>(n/2):
    //to print * before spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<=n/2-space;j++)
    {
    cout<<""<<"\t";
    }
    //to print spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<2    space-1;j++)
    {
    cout<<" “<<”\t";
    }
    //to print * after spaces in each row
    for (int j=0;j<=n/2-space;j++)
    {
    cout<<"*"<<"\t";
    }
    // Now decrement spaces for next row
    space-=1;

  4. Change line after each row

Hope, this would help.
