I'm struggling to find out how to make it so the second triangle is upside down, I think
I understand the concept of how to do it (Just do a regular triangle's code but in reverse) but I'm struggling with the execution. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm relatively new to c++.

What the code prints is this:
     
              S
             SAS
            SAMAS
           SAMPMAS
          SAMPLPMAS
         SAMPLELPMAS
              S
             SAS
            SAMAS
           SAMPMAS
          SAMPLPMAS
         SAMPLELPMAS

When it's supposed to print this:
`````
              S
             SAS
            SAMAS
           SAMPMAS
          SAMPLPMAS
         SAMPLELPMAS
          SAMPLPMAS
           SAMPMAS
            SAMAS
             SAS
              S

What I have tried:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main(){

string word;
int length, i, j;
cout<<"Enter a word: ";
cin>>word;

length=word.size();
if (word.size()>10){
    length=10;
}

for (i=0; i<length; i++){
    for (j=length-1-i; j>0; j--){
        cout<<" ";
    }
    for (j=0; j<=i; j++){
       cout<<word[j];
    }
    
    for (j=i-1;j>=0; j--){
        cout<<word[j];
    }
    
    cout<<endl;
}

for (i=0; i<length; i++){
    for (j=length-1-i; j>0; j--){ 
        cout<<" ";
    }

    for (j=0; j<=i; j++){ 
       cout<<word[j];
    }
   
    for (j=i-1;j>=0; j--){ 
        cout<<word[j];
    }
  
    cout<<endl;
}

return 0;
}
