Q8) How to remove the extra star from the middle row?

#1

public static void main(String[] args) {

	Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
	int n=sc.nextInt();
	int i=1,nst=1,ns=n-2,nS=0;
	while(i<=n) {
		int cS=1;
		while(cS<=nS) {
			System.out.print(" ");
			cS++;
		}
		int cst=1;
		while(cst<=nst) {
			System.out.print("*");
			cst++;
		}
		int cs=1;
		while(cs<=ns) {
			System.out.print(" ");
			cs++;
		}
		int csT=1;
		while(csT<=nst) {
			System.out.print("*");
			csT++;
		}
		if(i<=n/2) {
			ns=ns-2;
			nS++;
		}
		else {
			ns=ns+2;
			nS--;
		}
		i++;
		System.out.println();
	}
}

}

@laibaahsan27_1dfa992390072fd9 Add this condition to your second while loop used for printing stars after spaces.
While loop will look like this :

while(csT<=nst) {
            if(i == (n/2)+1)
            break;
			System.out.print("*");
			csT++;
		}
