Code:

int main(){

int n=5;
int space = n-1 ; 

// run loop (parent loop) 
// till number of rows 
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
{

// before star printing 
for (int j = 0;j < space; j++) 
cout << " "; 

// Print i+1 stars 
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) 
cout << "* "; 

cout << endl; 
space--; 
} 

// Repeat again in reverse order 
space = 0; 

// run loop (parent loop)

// Print i stars 
for (int j = 0;j < i;j++) 
cout << "* "; 

cout << endl; 
space++; 
} 


return 0;
