i can only create the half of the diamond but not the whole diamond how can i make a whole diamond?

Paste the code in here. If you have half of it, you should be able to ge the other half pretty easily--just undo what you already did. Let's take a look at it, and I'll help you out.

This seems like a common enough thing that I put up an example page for it.

There it is! Enjoy!

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int n;
cout<<"Enter The Value Of n:";
cin>>n;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(int j=n;j>i;j--)
cout<<" ";
for(int k=0;k<i;k++)
cout<<" *";
cout<<"\n";
}
for(i=n;i>0;i--)
{
for(int j=n;j>i;j--)
cout<<" ";
for(int k=0;k<i;k++)
cout<<" *";
cout<<"\n";
getch();
}
}

That seems to work too. However, it has spaces between the asterisks (different than what you had posted before).

I gather that you are working on VC++ 6.0? I noticed that you use <iostream.h>. That is a little out of date with the current C++ standard, and you can get VC++ 2008 Express for free (2010 soon)--just a suggestion.

i don't know what version is my turbo c

[b1gb0y2013]

actually i was bored so i just plugged in your code, first off alot of stuff didnt work for me so i had to change a bunch... But try putting the getchar(); before the LAST }, it works for me now...

You might have trouble because your compiler is older. That's what I was talking about before. C++ no longer uses <iostream.h>. Instead, it use <iostream> and all of the standard libraries are in the namespace "std." Also, <conio.h> is no longer used.

If you are using Visual C++, you can use "Start Without Debugging" and the console window will stay open. Otherwise, you need to add something like getchar(). We covered that in our video on how to create an executable.
