Diamond Pattern in Python

Hello everybody! Welcome to programminginpython.com, am back with another tutorial. Here I will tell you How to print a diamond pattern in python. In earlier posts, I have shared with you how to print a pyramid pattern and reverse pyramid pattern. In this post, I will combine both to print a Diamond pattern in Python.

Tip: Join Codecademy. The easiest way to learn to code. It’s interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends.

Task

Python Program to print a Diamond Pattern.

Approach

• Read an input integer for asking the range of the diamond using  input()
• Run 2 for loops, one for printing in a pyramid pattern and other for printing in a reverse pyramid pattern.
• In each of the loop every line with specific * and ` ` is printed.

# Print a Diamond



# Range of the diamond

num = int(input("Enter the range: \t "))



# pyramid

for p in range(num):

    print(' '*(num-p-1)+'* '*(p+1))

# reverse pyramid

for rp in range(num-1, 0, -1):

    print(' '*(num-rp)+'* '*rp)
