Video: Rhombus of Stars

Watch this video lesson to learn how to print a rhombus of stars on the console using nested loops: https://youtu.be/BaSgBU6yLU8.

Hints and Guidelines

To solve this problem, we need to mentally divide the rhombus into two parts – upper one, which also includes the middle row, and lower one. For the printing of each part we will use two separate loops, as we leave the reader to decide the dependency between n and the variables of the loops. For the first loop we can use the following guidelines:

  • We print n-row white spaces.
  • We print *.
  • We print row-1 times *.

The second (lower) part will be printed similarly, which again we leave to the reader to do.
