Diamond Pattern in Python

Hello everybody! Welcome to programminginpython.com, I’m 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.

Task

Python Program to print a Diamond Pattern.

Approach

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

Program

# 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)
