Cant figure why one test case is not working

I have put 3 5 7 9 and I think the pattern is correct.

Hey @abhinavsehgal802_270a44594b6dc4ad,
Your code is printing extra columns for
n=7 (printing an extra first and last column, 9 columns in total) and
n=9 (printing 2 extra first and last columns, 13 columns in total, Also, various extra stars in the last line).

You had error in the calculation of initial nst;
nst should be initialised by (n+1)/2

Here is your updated code:

Hope it helps :slight_smile:
