Java Pattern
Hi, im wondering if someone could help me understand ho I can make this diamond pattern:
** ********** ****************** ************************** ****************** ********** **
It increases by eight every time up to 26 *, until it decends. Now I got the full diamond pattern to work with a single *, but I'd like to make this one to understand how to chose the pattern signature.
Doesn't look like it want's to show up like a diamond in this post, but I hope you get the picture.

Re: Java Pattern
What have you tried so far? What is the problem with what current program outputs?

Re: Java Pattern
I've run this so far :
public class Lab1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i = 5; i > -5; i--)
{
for(int j = 0; j < i; j++)
{
System.out.print(" ");
}
for(int j = 0; j >= i; j--)
{
System.out.print(" ");
}
System.out.println("*");
}
}
}
and it gives me a starting point from 1=, adding 2
what I want is to start with 2
Re: Java Pattern
Ok, what have you tried?I want is to start with 2 *s and add 8 every line up to 26 *s then down to 2 *s again with a total of 7 lines.
Can you describe what the program will decide as it prints each line?
Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code]
**YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

Re: Java Pattern
Thanks for sticking with me, and answering my maybe silly questions
I've tried to change the values of j and i, but I can't seem to find the right combination to start with two stars and end with two stars.
I really don't know what I want the program to decide technically, basically because I don't yet understand how to write my pattern. But I want it to print a diamot shape like this.

im working in VS code btw.
Re: Java Pattern
Make a list of what should be printed on each line for all 7 lines and look for a pattern that relates what is on a line with the number of the line.how to write my pattern.
Post the list here. The first line would be something like this:
line1: print 6 spaces, print 2 *s, print end of line
What goes on the remaining 6 lines?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
