#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
    int i, j, space, rows=8, star=0;
    
    /* Printing upper triangle */
    for(i = 1; i <= rows; i++) {
     if(i <= 5){
        /* Printing upper triangle */
            for(space = 1; space <= 5-i; space++) {
               printf(" ");
            }
            /* Printing stars */
            while(star != (2*i - 1)) {
                printf("*");
                star++;;
            }
            star=0;

            for(j = 0; j < 9; j++){
             if((int)(j/3) == 1)
                 printf(" ");
