Write a program that reads an integer and displays, using asterisks, a filled diamond of the given side length. For example, if the side length is 4, the program should display[a diamond with the middle having 7 asterisks]

*

***







***

*

side = int(input("Please input side length of diamond: "))

# for loop that loop from 0 to n - 1

for i in range(side-1):

   # inside the print statement we determine the number of space to print

   # using n - 1 and repeat the space

   # we also determine the number of asterisk to print on a line

   # using 2 * i + 1

   print((side-i) * ' ' + (2*i+1) * '*')

# for loop that loop from 0 to n - 1 in reversed way

for i in range(side-1, -1, -1):

   # this print statement display the lower half of the diamond

   # it uses the same computation as the first for loop

   print((side-i) * ' ' + (2*i+1) * '*')

Explanation:

The program is written in Python and well commented. The first for loop display the first half of the diamond while the second for loop display the lower half.

A screenshot of program output when the code is executed is attached.

we can all learn from our past mistakes because we all have different ways of learning different types of techniques. my way may or may not another classmate remember and have the repetition to acknowledge such standard. such as remembering acronyms. using abbreviations to us remember keep things in order in our memory. this us figure out what comes next in the sequence. if so, what we have is a sentence of just letters all in caps. we either know the meaning or have no idea what it stands for. most of the time we know the meaning and context. but most of us who don't know, should learn by having a quick glance at what needs to be remembered. such as repetition in the memory for acronyms. one way that me, is the fact that i'm always doing math and english assignments. so we have to remember specific meanings such as soapstone for documents, such as citing correctly. or pemdas for doing the equations correctly, even if it's the super long way. this works for everyone. you just have to find what works for you by practicing and repetition daily.
