C++ Exercises: Display the pattern like a diamond

C++ For Loop: Exercise-44 with Solution

Write a C++ program to display a pattern like a diamond.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int i,j,r;
    cout << "\n\n Display the pattern like a diamond:\n";
    cout << "----------------------------------------\n";
    cout << " Input number of rows (half of the diamond): ";
    cin >> r;
   for(i=0;i<=r;i++)
   {
     for(j=1;j<=r-i;j++)
     cout<<" ";
     for(j=1;j<=2*i-1;j++)
       cout<<"*";
     cout<<endl;
   }
   for(i=r-1;i>=1;i--)
   {
     for(j=1;j<=r-i;j++)
     cout<<" ";
     for(j=1;j<=2*i-1;j++)
       cout<<"*";
     cout<<endl;;
   }
}

Sample Output:

 Display the pattern like a diamond:                                   
----------------------------------------                               
 Input number of rows (half of the diamond): 5                         
                                                                       
    *                                                                  
   ***                                                                 
  *****

*********                                                              
 *******                                                               
  *****                                                                
   ***
