#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i,j, rows;
printf("Enter the number of rows\n");
scanf("%d", &rows);
/* printing top semi circular shapes of heart */
for(i = rows/2; i <= rows; i+=2){
/* Printing Spaces */
for(j = 1; j < rows-i; j+=2) {
printf(" ");
}
/* printing stars for left semi circle */
for(j = 1; j <= i; j++){
printf("*");
}
/* Printing Spaces */
for(j = 1; j <= rows-i; j++){
printf(" ");
}
/* printing stars for right semi circle */
for(j = 1; j <= i; j++){
printf("*");
}
/* move to next row */
printf("\n");
}
/* printing inverted start pyramid */
for(i = rows; i >= 1; i--){
for(j = i; j < rows; j++){
printf(" ");
}
for(j = 1; j <= (i*2)-1; j++){
printf("*");
}
/* move to next row */
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
