I Need A Java Code That Will Help Me Output A Diamond Shape?

The code is very simple. Try this

import java.io.*;

public class myDiamondInput {

public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException {

BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));

String input;
int num;


System.out.println("input number: ");
input = stdin.readLine ();
num = Integer.parseInt(input);

int d = num;
int e = 0;

for (int a = 0; a <= num; a++) {
for (int c = d; c>= 1; c-- )
System.out.print(" ");
d-=1;
for (int b = 1; b <= a; b++)
System.out.print ("* ");
System.out.println();
}
num-=1;

for (int a = 0; a<=num; a++) {
for (int b = num; b > a; b--)
System.out.print (" *");
System.out.println();
for (int c = 0; c <= e; c++)
System.out.print(" ");
e+=1;

}
}

}

I need to build a Diamond with ****** input?

Import java.io.*;

  input = stdin.readLine ();
  num = Integer.parseInt(input);
 
  int d = num;
  int e = 0;

  for (int a = 0; a = 1; c-- )
  System.out.print(" ");
  d-=1;
  for (int b = 1; b

A java program that will output a number that shapes a diamond

Change the * in the bracket of sop to desired number...both places
