This sounds like homework. In any case, you should try to describe the
problem a little better.
You ask the user for an odd int less than 22. OK, but what are you trying
to do with it? I don't see much correlation between the number of stars or
the number of spaces and the number "22". I'm guessing that you meant to
write 22 stars on the first line but instead wrote 17?
I'm assuming that your example output's width was intended to be 22, so your
program somehow displays an "asterisk" grid with width 22 and an empty
diamond in the middle. Is that right? In that case, I recommend that you
post your attempt at solving the problem so others do not feel like they are
giving you the answer to your homework. Currently, it sounds like a problem
that could be solved with two (relatively simple) for loops.
