Help with C programming assignment!?

Okay, here's the question:





1. Write a C program that asks the user to enter a height and then generates a diamond pattern based on the entered height using nested for loops. For example, if the user enters 9 for height, the program should generate the following pattern:





----*----


---*-*---


--*---*--


-*-----*-


*-------*


-*-----*-


--*---*--


---*-*---


----*----





Please note that i used dashs (-) instead of spaces because yahoo won't display it well! Here's also a link to the original question:

All i know is that number entered by the user give the heght and width of the diamond.

Reply:Well done, someone actually does their own work :) Report It

Reply:its a good assignment
Reply:Have you flowcharted it? If you can flowchart it the programming is not difficult. If you can't flowchart it your problem is in the logic not the programming.


Get down on paper exactly how the steps go, and when you can walkthrough it and get the right pattern, then code it.
