Pattern Problem

#1

This is the pattern to be printed:

This is the code that I have written:

int n;
cin>>n;
int row,col;
int st=n-1;    //no. of stars
int sp=1;     //no. of spaces
int N=2*n-1;
for(row=1; row<=N; row++){

	for(col=1; col<=st; col++){
		cout<<"*"<<"\t";
	}
	for(col=1; col<=sp; col++){
		cout<<"\t";
	}
	for(col=1; col<=st; col++){
		cout<<"*"<<"\t";
	}
	if(row<=N/2){
		st--;
		sp=sp+2;
	}
	else{
		st++;
		sp=sp-2;
	}
	if((row=1) && (row=N)){
       for(col=1; col<=N; col++){
		   cout<<"*"<<"\t";
	   }
	}
	cout<<endl;
}

The output shows “time limit exceeded”. What is the mistake?

Here you have to use double equal to
For comparison == is used and for assignment = is used
