How can I output a diamond pattern in PHP?
Here is an example of printing a diamond pattern using PHP code:
<?php
function printDiamond($n) {
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
for ($j = 1; $j <= $n - $i; $j++) {
echo " ";
}
for ($j = 1; $j <= 2 * $i - 1; $j++) {
echo "*";
}
echo "\n";
}
for ($i = $n - 1; $i >= 1; $i--) {
for ($j = 1; $j <= $n - $i; $j++) {
echo " ";
}
for ($j = 1; $j <= 2 * $i - 1; $j++) {
echo "*";
}
echo "\n";
}
}
$n = 5;
printDiamond($n);
In the example above, the printDiamond function is used to print a diamond pattern, with the $n variable specifying the size of the diamond. You can adjust the size of the diamond by changing the value of $n. Running the above code will print a diamond pattern in the command line.
