#include<iostream>


using namespace std;






int main()


{


 cout << "Join http://shapesinc.blogspot.com for more codes of shapes\n\n";

 cout<<"CAUTION:   The input should not be other than numerical values \n\n\a";
 


 int height=0;






 cout << "Enter the length of the hollow diamond\n";


 cin>>height;














 //for upper side


 for(int upperrows=0; upperrows<height; upperrows++)


 {


  for(int stars1=height; upperrows<stars1; stars1--)


   cout<<"*";


  for(int space1=0; space1<2*upperrows; space1++)


   cout<<" ";


  for(int stars2=height; upperrows<stars2; stars2--)


   cout<<"*";


  cout<<endl;


 }


 //for lower side


 for(int lowerrows=0, k=height; lowerrows<height-1; lowerrows++, k--)


 {


  for(int stars3=0; lowerrows>stars3-2; stars3++)


   cout<<"*";


  for(int j=0; j<height+k-3; j++)


  {


   if(lowerrows<j)


    cout << " ";


  }


  for(int stars3=0; lowerrows>stars3-2; stars3++)


   cout<<"*";


  cout<<endl;


 }






}

Output:
