How to make a diamond using Nested For Loops

Question

So I was assigned to make a diamond with asterisks in Java and I\'m really stumped. Here\'s what I\'ve come up with so far:

public class Lab1 
{
   public s         


        

Answer 1

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) 
          System.out.println("    *********".substring(i, 5 + 2*i));

    for (int i =5; i>0;i--)
        System.out.println("     **********".substring(i-1,5+(2*i)-3));
