In this shot, we will discuss how to make a solid rhombus pattern using stars in `C++`.

# 
## Approach
A **nested loop** refers to a loop that calls another loop.
We will use a nested loop to make the solid rhombus pattern in `C++`. 

Let’s look at an image of the pattern that we want to generate.

We use the `for` loop to generate this solid rhombus pattern. In the loop, we give conditions to print `*` on the edges and inside the rhombus.

# 
## Code

Let's look at the code below to understand this better.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int number;
  cin >> number;
  for (int i = 0; i < number; i++)
  {
    for (int j = 0; j < number - i; j++)
      cout << " ";
    
    for (int j = 0; j < number; j++)
      cout << "*" ;

    cout << endl ;
  }
  return 0;
}

## Explanation


* *In line 5,* we initialize the variable `number`.

* *In line 6,* we take the input as `number`.

* *In line 7,* we initialize an outer `for` loop. Here, we have given a condition to run the loop for `number` times.

* *In line 9,* we initialize an inner `for` loop. Here, we have given conditions to run the loop for `number-i` times to print space.

* *In lines 12 and 13,* we initialize the `for` loop. Here we have given conditions to print `*` at the edges as well as inside the rhombus.

* *In line 15,* we print a next line character. We do this so that the `*` is printed from the next line onwards.

In this way, we can use loops to make a solid rhombus pattern in `C++`.
> This pattern can also be made with `numbers`, `alphabets`, or any other `characters`.


How to generate a solid rhombus pattern using stars in C++

Use nested loops in C++ to create a solid rhombus pattern with stars by printing spaces and stars conditionally.
