Rhombus Star Pattern

Program to Print Rhombus Star Pattern

PRINTING PATTERN:

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

PREREQUISITE:

Basic knowledge of C language and loops.

ALGORITHM:

1. Take the number of rows as input from the user (height of the rhombus) and store it in a variable ('n').
2. Run a loop 'n' times to iterate through the rows (i=0 to i<n).
3. For each row, print spaces to align the stars correctly.
4. Print stars for each row.
5. Move to the next line after each row has been printed.

Code in C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n, i, j;  // Declaring integers n for size, i and j for loops
    printf("Enter the number of rows for the rhombus:\n");
    scanf("%d", &n);  // Taking input for number of rows

    for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // Print spaces for rhombus shape
        for (j = 0; j < n - 1; j++) {
            printf(" ");  // Printing spaces
        }
        // Print stars for each row
        for (j = 0; j < n; j++) {
            printf("*");  // Printing stars
        }
        printf("\n");  // New line after each row
    }

    return 0;
}
            

Output:

Enter the number of rows for the rhombus:
4
