There are many pattern programs are written by programmers for practice purposes. The diamond pattern programs are one of them. Here we will write a hollow diamond pattern in C.

Hollow Diamond Star Pattern in C

Input: 5

Output:
     *
    * *
   *   *
  *     *
 *       *
  *     *
   *   *
    * *
     *

C program for the above pattern,

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int n;

  printf("Enter number of rows: ");
  scanf("%d",&n);

  for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
  {
     for(int j=i; j<=n; j++)
     {
       printf(" ");
     }
     for(int k=1; k<=2*i-1; k++)
     {
       if(k==1 || k==(2*i-1)) printf("*");
       else printf(" ");
     }
     printf("\n");
  }

  for(int i=n-1; i>=1; i--)
  {
     for(int j=n; j>=i; j--)
     {
       printf(" ");
     }
     for(int k=1; k<=2*i-1; k++)
     {
       if(k==1 || k==2*i-1) printf("*");
       else printf(" ");
     }
     printf("\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

Output:-

Enter number of rows: 7

       *
      * *
     *   *
    *     *
   *       *
  *         *
 *           *
  *         *
   *       *
    *     *
     *   *
      * *
       *

In this pattern first and the last row contain 1 star and remaining every row contains exactly 2 stars.

We can display any characters instead of stars, for this purpose just replace the * with that character. But in this case, all characters must be the same.

Hollow Diamond Number Pattern

Input: 5

Output:

     1
    2 2
   3   3
  4     4
 5       5
  4     4
   3   3
    2 2
     1

This hollow diamond pattern contains numbers instead of stars. So, only some parts of the code will change and others will remain the same.

The pattern starts with 1 and displays up to 5. The first and last row contains only 1 and the remaining rows contains exactly 2 same numbers. From 1st to 5th row the size of pattern increases and from 6th to 9th row the size of pattern decreased.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int n, a=1;

   printf("Enter number of rows: ");
   scanf("%d", &n);

   for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
   {
     for(int j=i; j<=n; j++)
     {
       printf(" ");
     }
     for(int k=1; k<=2*i-1; k++)
     {
       if(k==1 || k==2*i-1) printf("%d",a);
       else printf(" ");
     }
     a++;
     printf("\n");
   }

   a=n-1;

   for(int i=n-1; i>=1; i--)
   {
     for(int j=n; j>=i; j--)
     {
       printf(" ");
     }
     for(int k=1; k<=2*i-1; k++)
     {
       if(k==1 || k==2*i-1) printf("%d",a);
       else printf(" ");
     }
     a--;
     printf("\n");
   }

   return 0;
}

Output:-

Enter number of rows: 3
   1
  2 2
 3   3
  2 2
   1
Enter number of rows: 5
     1
    2 2
   3   3
  4     4
 5       5
  4     4
   3   3
    2 2
     1
