C program to print diamond pattern
The diamond pattern in C language: This code prints a diamond pattern of stars. The diamond shape is as follows:
* *** ***** *** *
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n, c, k, space = 1;
printf(“Enter number of rows\n“);
scanf(“%d”, &n);
space = n – 1;
for (k = 1; k <= n; k++)
{
for (c = 1; c <= space; c++)
printf(” “);
space–;
for (c = 1; c <= 2*k–1; c++)
printf(“*”);
printf(“\n“);
}
space = 1;
for (k = 1; k <= n – 1; k++)
{
for (c = 1; c <= space; c++)
printf(” “);
space++;
for (c = 1 ; c <= 2*(n–k)–1; c++)
printf(“*”);
printf(“\n“);
}
return 0;
}
Output of program:
