MATLAB: How to make a diamond with asterisks

diamonddoit4mehomeworkloops

Hi can you help me doing this? So far I have this but I'm not sure what to do next or when to write the loops.

2(n-1)+1  %number of x
n=row
floor(col/2-(n-1)) %number of blanks
floor (row/2-(n-1))

Hello Juan,

I believe a question similar to yours has been answered in this MATLAB Answers thread. Check and see if it helps with the issue you are facing.

Here's a hint:

x = 'Friday Rocks'
char(42+zeros(size(x)))

I found the 42 by running:

int8('*')

To reverse a string, look at fliplr.

doc fliplr

t = 1;
n = 1;
while t<120
  n=n+1;
  t = t+n;
end
disp(n)
