Hi,

Sorry to not to paste code written by me.
I am almost able to get it with one loops but i am not liking too many variables and if-else.

i am unable to think of any single straight logic/equation to do the same

it is below here -
#define ROWS 10
int main(void)
{
int i = 0, j = 0, counter = 0, start_shrinking = 0;
for(i = 0; i = ((ROWS/2)-j))
printf("*");
else
printf(" ");

counter++;
}
}
}

output is not exactly * arranged in diamond shape as given below

i have used underscore instead of spaces since in HTML all spaces were disappeared.
This is not the homework i am curiously doing it.

Thanks very much
