SOLUTION:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void printPattern(int n){
int i,j,c=1;
  for(i = 1; i <= n; i++){
    for(j = 0; j < i-1; j++)
      cout<<c<<"*";
    cout<<c++<<endl;
  }
  c--;
    for(i = n; i >= 1; i--){
    for(j = i-1; j > 0; j--)
      cout<<c<<"*";
    cout<<c--<<endl;
  }
}
int main(){
  int n;
  cin>>n;
  printPattern(n);
}
