print a combined diagonal star pattern using only for loops as given below:
    *
   * *
  *   *
 *     *
*       *


What I have tried:

Java
package com.packages;

public class star9 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int i, j, k, l,m;
        for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++) {
            for (j = 3; j >= i; j--) {
                System.out.print(" ");
            }
            for(k=i;k<=i;k++){
                System.out.print(" *");
            }
            for(l=2;l<=(i*2);l++){
                System.out.print(" ");
            }
            for(m=i;m>=i;m--){
                System.out.print("*");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

It's 9x5.
In the first row, print one in the middle (....*).
In the 2nd, print two * with a -1 and +1 offset from the middle (...*.*...).
etc.

Nobody is going to write your code for you. That doesn't help you at all. You're missing the most important part of problem solving, thinking about the problem.

1 solution

Start by writing a method that takes two parameters to print: "blanks before star" and "blanks after star".

Test that, make sure it works.
then it's simple: you just need a single loop that calls it with varying numbers: (5, 0), (4, 1), (3, 3), (2, 5), (1, 7), (0, 9)

Give it a try: it's not complicated if you spend a short time thinking before you launch into code.
