Python Program to Print Diamond Star Pattern

This article explains all the different ways of writing Python Program to Print the Diamond Pattern of stars, alphabets, and numbers using the for loop, while loop, and functions.

Python Program to Print Diamond Star Pattern

Write a Python Program to Print the Diamond Star Pattern using a for loop.

# Python Program to Print Diamond Star Pattern
 
rows = int(input("Enter Diamond Pattern Rows = "))

print("Diamond Star Pattern") 
k = 0
for i in range(1, rows + 1):
    for j in range(1, rows - i + 1):
        print(end = ' ')
    while k != 2 * i - 1:
        print('*', end = '')
        k = k + 1
    k = 0
    print()

k = 2
l = 1
for i in range(1, rows):
    for j in range(1, k):
        print(end = ' ')
    k = k + 1
    while l <= (2 * (rows - i) - 1):
        print('*', end = '')
        l = l + 1
    l = 1
    print()

Enter Diamond Pattern Rows = 8

We altered the above Program and replaced the while loop with the for loop to Print the Diamond Star Pattern.

# Python Program to Print Diamond Star Pattern
 
rows = int(input("Enter Diamond Pattern Rows = "))

print("Diamond Star Pattern") 
for i in range(1, rows + 1):
    for j in range(1, rows - i + 1):
        print(end = ' ')
    for k in range(0, 2 * i - 1):
        print('*', end = '')
    print()

for i in range(1, rows):
    for j in range(1, i + 1):
        print(end = ' ')
    for l in range(1, (2 * (rows - i) )):
        print('*', end = '')
    print()

In this Python Program, we created a diamondPattern function that accepts the rows and symbols to Print Diamond Pattern. The sign will replace the star in a diamond pattern.

# Python Program to Print Diamond Star Pattern

def  diamondPattern(rows, ch):
    for i in range(1, rows + 1):
        for j in range(1, rows - i + 1):
            print(end = ' ')
        for k in range(0, 2 * i - 1):
            print('%c' %ch, end = '')
        print()

    for i in range(1, rows):
        for j in range(1, i + 1):
            print(end = ' ')
        for k in range(1, (2 * (rows - i))):
            print('%c' %ch, end = '')
        print()
    
rows = int(input("Enter Diamond Pattern Rows = "))

ch = input("Symbol to Print in Diamond Pattern = ")

print("Diamond Pattern")
diamondPattern(rows, ch)

Enter Diamond Pattern Rows = 10
Symbol to Print in Diamond Pattern = ^
