Algorithm

  1.   Start
  2. n:=0
  3. Print "Enter a number"
  4. Read n
  5. i=0
  6. If i<n, go to step 7 or else go to step 21
  7. j=0
  8. If j<n-i, go to step 9 or else go to step 11
  9. Print " "
  10. j++. Go to step 8
  11. If i==0, go to step 12 or else go to step 13
  12. Print "*"
  13. k=0
  14. If k<i*2, go to step 15 or else go to step 19
  15. If (i==n-1||k==0||k==(i*2)-1), go to step 16 or else go to step 17
  16. Print "*". Go to step 18
  17. Print " "
  18. k++. Go to step 14
  19. Go to next line
  20. i++. Go to step 6
  21. Stop
