Also, get a book and learn some C# so you don't have to ask questions as basic as this one.

Solution 5

To make this really interesting - you should do it using a recursive algorithm. That way you should get a good mark!

I will give you more hint.

C#

Console.WriteLine("Enter n:");
int n = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
     for (int j = 1; j <= 2 * i - 1; j++)
     {
           Console.Write("*");
     }
     Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.ReadLine();

TODOS: 1) Similarly go downwards
2) Add line of code to put correct spaces

Consider answers from all the responders and put some effort. You will surely be able to do it. :thumbsup:
