Answer 1

int n = 9;
for(int i =0;ii;k--){
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
    for(int j=0;j<2*i+1;j++){
        System.out.print("*");
    }
    System.out.println("");
}

for(int j=0;j=0;k--){
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
    
    for(int i=2*(n-j-1)-1;i>0;i--){
        System.out.print("*");
    }
    
    System.out.println("");
    
}
