Hello I am still a learner, I am faced with writing a java code that prints a diamond with a frame enclosing the diamond. I have tried making the frame, but I am having challenge forming the diamond. I have attached a picture sample of how the diamond should look like

Here is a sample of my code:

System.out.print("\n";

// for the top cover
System.out.print("+";
for(int i = 0; i<=(size*2); i++){
System.out.print("-";
}
System.out.println("+";


// for the side
int count = 0;
for(int i = 1; i<=(size*2)-1; i++){
System.out.print("|";
for(int j = 0; j<=(size*2); j++){
System.out.print(" ";
}

System.out.println("|";

}


// For the bottom
System.out.print("+";
for(int i = 0; i<=(size*2); i++){
System.out.print("-";
}
System.out.println("+";
}

}

Awesome! You my friend is good. But i still dnt get how a diamond is useful in real programming. Unless its just to hone up ur problem solving skills but kudos. Also where did you declare variable 'size'. You use Javafx? holla me if u do.

The variable size was declared in the other part of my code. Well I latter figured exactly what I needed. Thanks
