Iam Using this code but i need adjustments

/*to print astriek diamond*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
  int i,j,t,max;
  clrscr();
  printf("a diamond structure in star\n\n");
  printf("what is the maximum number of columns\n\n ");
  scanf("%d", &max);

/*forward*/

  for(i=1;i<=max;i+=2)
	{
	  printf("\t");printf("\t");printf("\t");printf("\t");
	  printf("*");

	for(t=1;t<=i;t+=2)
	  {
		printf("\b");
	  }

	for(j=1;j<=i;j++)
		  { 
			printf("* ");
		  }

	  printf("\n");
	}
/*reverse*/
for(i=max-2;i>=1;i-=2)
{ 
  printf("\t");printf("\t");printf("\t");printf("\t");
  for(t=0;t<=i;t+=2)
	{
	  printf("\b");
	}
  for(j=i;j>=1;j--)
	  { 
	printf(" * ");

	  }
  printf("\n");
  max=max-1;
 }
/*scanf("%d",&dum);*/
getch();
} 

The output should be

____*
__*_*_*
*_*_*_*_*
__*_*_*
____*

without _

Try this one-

#include <iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{ 
int i=0, j=0, NUM=3;



for(i=-NUM; i<=NUM; i++)
{
for(j=-NUM; j<=NUM; j++)

{

if( abs(i)+abs(j)<= NUM){ cout<<"*"; }

else { cout<<" ";}
}
cout<<endl;

}
getch();
	return 0;
}

Just search the forum. This question is asked EVERY. FREAKING. SEMESTER.

[poncho4all]

Maybe this

#include <cstdio>
#include <conio.h>


int main()
	{
	int i, j, k, rows;
	printf("Specify the number of rows (between 1-19) in the dimond: ");
	scanf ("%d",&rows);
	printf("\n");
	for(i=1; i<=rows; i++)
		{
		for(j=1; j<=rows-i; j++)
		printf("%c",' ');
		for(k=1; k<=2*i-1; k++)
		printf("%c",'*');
		printf("\n");
		}
		int l,m,n;
		for (n = rows-1; n > 0;n--)
		{
		for (l = 1; l <= rows- n; l++)
		printf("%c",' ');
		for (m = 1; m<= 2 * n- 1; m++)
		printf("%c",'*');
		printf("\n");
		}
			getch();
	   }

If this Qn is so Frequently asked then plz pin one of the Topic...
In students section or somewhere else...

[eker676]

There is no need to pin it. If people want the answers they can look for them. No need to spoonfeed them their homework.

It is a good way to teach about nested loops though

loop spaces down
loop * up
loop spaces up
loop * down

[poncho4all]

Well i agree with eker, imagine how many topics would have to be pined, besides if its a homework you could easily atleast search for it, there is im sure there is atleast one here at D.I.C, if not im sure there is at least 100000 in Google xD
