Write a program that reads an integer and displays, using asterisks, a filled diamond of the given side length. For example, if the side length is 4, the program should display[a diamond with the middle having 7 asterisks]

*

***

*

side = int(input("Please input side length of diamond: "))

# for loop that loop from 0 to n - 1

for i in range(side-1):

   # inside the print statement we determine the number of space to print

   # using n - 1 and repeat the space

   # we also determine the number of asterisk to print on a line

   # using 2 * i + 1

   print((side-i) * ' ' + (2*i+1) * '*')

# for loop that loop from 0 to n - 1 in reversed way

for i in range(side-1, -1, -1):

   # this print statement display the lower half of the diamond

   # it uses the same computation as the first for loop

   print((side-i) * ' ' + (2*i+1) * '*')

Explanation:

The program is written in Python and well commented. The first for loop display the first half of the diamond while the second for loop display the lower half.

A screenshot of program output when the code is executed is attached.
