How to print Hollow Diamond Pattern in Go ?

Answer

To print a Hollow Diamond Pattern in Go, we use nested loops to manage spaces and stars.

✐ Examples

1 Print Hollow Diamond Pattern in Go

In this example,

We define the number of rows for the diamond pattern, assuming it to be 5.
We use nested loops where the outer loop controls the rows and the inner loop manages spaces and stars.
Conditions within the loops determine when to print stars to create the hollow diamond effect.
The outer loop manages the rows of the diamond, incrementing and decrementing based on the midpoint of the diamond.
The inner loop calculates the spaces required to position the stars correctly, ensuring the hollow diamond pattern.
Stars are printed based on conditions to achieve the desired hollow diamond pattern.

Go Program

// Print Hollow Diamond Pattern in Go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
)

func printHollowDiamond(numRows int) {
    diamond := []string{}
    for row := 1; row <= numRows; row++ {
        pattern := strings.Repeat(" ", numRows-row)
        for star := 1; star <= 2*row-1; star++ {
            if star == 1 || star == 2*row-1 {
                pattern += "*"
            } else {
                pattern += " "
            }
        }
        diamond = append(diamond, pattern)
    }

    for row := numRows - 1; row >= 1; row-- {
        pattern := strings.Repeat(" ", numRows-row)
        for star := 1; star <= 2*row-1; star++ {
            if star == 1 || star == 2*row-1 {
                pattern += "*"
            } else {
                pattern += " "
            }
        }
        diamond = append(diamond, pattern)
    }

    fmt.Println(strings.Join(diamond, "\n"))
}

func main() {
    printHollowDiamond(5)
}
