Answer 1

There are two version of this

1. Space between Stars
2. Without Space between Stars

Space between Stars

n = 4
for i in range(n):
    print(' '*(n-i-1) + '* '*(i+1) )
for i in range(n):
    print(' '*(i+1) + '* '*(n-i-1))

Without Space between Stars

n = 4
for i in range(n):
    print(' '*(n-i-1) + '*'*((2*i)+1) )
for i in range(n):
    print(' '*(i+1) + '*'*((2*((n-1)-i))-1))
