class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int i, j, k, n;

            Console.Write("Enter the No. :");
            n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

            for (i = 1; i <= n + (n - 1); i++)
            {
                for (j = 1; j <= n + (n - 1); j++)
                {
                    if (i + j == (n + 1) || i + j == (n + n + n - 1) || i - j == (n -
            1) || i - j == -(n - 1))
                        Console.Write("*");
                    else
                        Console.Write(" ");
                }
                Console.WriteLine("\n");
