How to make a diamond using Nested For Loops

Question

So I was assigned to make a diamond with asterisks in Java and I\'m really stumped. Here\'s what I\'ve come up with so far:

public class Lab1 
{
   public s         


        

Answer 1

Try this

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int n = 50;
        int space = n - 1;

        for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){

            for(int j = 0; j < space; j++) {
                System.out.print(" ");
            }

            for(int j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
                 System.out.print("* ");
            }

            System.out.println("");
            space--;
        }

        space = 0;

        for(int i = n; i > 0; i--){

            for(int j = 0; j < space; j++){

                System.out.print(" ");
            }

            for(int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
                System.out.print("* ");
            }

            System.out.println("");
            space++;
        }

    }
}
