# * * *
# * * * *
# * * * * *
# * * * *
# * * *

# without nested loops
a = 1
j = 1
k = 5
for i in range(2*k - 1):
    if j >= k:
        a = -1
    print('*' * j)
    j += a

# with nested loops
f = 1
for i in range(1, 2*k):
    if i <= k:
        for j in range(1, i+1):
            print('*', end='')
    else:
        for m in range(k, f, -1):
            print('*', end='')
        f += 1
    print('\r')
