Help with for loop

I need to make a diamond out of character with a pattern of 1,3,5,3,1.

right now my diamond looks like this

...,
..,,
.,,,
,,,,
.,,,
..,,
...,

* where . is a space and , is a char.

Could anyone teach me how to make my nested loop increase the character output by 2 each time instead of 1.

All my spacing is right i just need to add some char values.

Have you tried writing it? What have you got so far? Pls share what you have and then maybe we can make suggestions.

If you use the print (vs println) you can print as many characters on a line as you need.

A char value is specified by putting the character in single quotes: 'a'

try this...

System.out.println(" //what ever you wanna put here ,, even though with space.. this is like a toString() method ")
