        System.out.print(" ");
 
      for (j = i; j <= rows; j++)
        System.out.print("*");
 
      System.out.println();
    }
 
    //lower half
    for (i = rows - 1; i >= 1; i--)
    {
      for (k = 1; k < i; k++)
        System.out.print(" ");
 
      for (j = i; j <= rows; j++)
        System.out.print("*");
 
      System.out.println();
    }
