The program must accept an integer N as the input. The program must print (2*N)-1 lines of pattern as shown in the Example Input/Output section. The asterisks in the pattern indicate the diamond and plus symbols. The hyphens in the pattern indicate the empty spaces.
Boundary Condition(s):
2 <= N <= 50
Input Format:
The first line contains N.
Output Format:
The first (2*N)-1 lines contain the desired pattern as shown in the Example Input/Output section.
Example Input/Output 1:
Input:
5
Output:
--------*
------*-*-*
----*---*---*
--*-----*-----*
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
--*-----*-----*
----*---*---*
------*-*-*
--------*
Explanation:
Here N=5, so the pattern contains 9 lines ((2*5)-1) of output.
Example Input/Output 2:
Input:
3
Output:
----*
--*-*-*
*-*-*-*-*
--*-*-*
----*
Example Input/Output 3:
Input:
6
Output:
----------*
--------*-*-*
------*---*---*
----*-----*-----*
--*-------*-------*
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
--*-------*-------*
----*-----*-----*
------*---*---*
