Assignment4B: Diamonds in the sky.
In our earliest labs, we asked you to print a diamond pattern to the screen using predefined print
statements. Now that we know how to use loops, we can make more dynamic and customizable
patterns.
For this assignment, we will prompt the user to enter a maximum width for the diamond. If they
enter a number less than 3, we'll prompt them to choose a correct width. If they enter an even
number (greater than 3), we will add 1 to it and let the user know the final diamond size. Then
we will generate and print out the diamond using * and '' symbols.
Hints: Each line of the "diamond" is made up of two parts – the asterisks in the center
and the spaces to the left of it. The amount of "left space" decreases as we go towards
the middle diamond, then increases afterwards as we go towards the bottom. Could we
use multiple loops (or even nested loops) to model this behavior? Also, note that the
number of asterisks increases (and later decreases) by two on each line.
Call the file name Assignment4B(.java, .cs, .cpp) and the class name Assignment4B.

Sample Output #2:
Enter the diamond’s width: 8
To make a diamond, we'll use 9 as the width instead.
