Well, I think an elegant solution would be a loop that iterates from -4 to +4, inclusive. Within that loop is another that uses the absolute value of the loop counter to print out the numbers and stars.

But, it must account for the extra instance of 1 and the 0.

**or**
Some relationship of the inner loop counter and the outer loop counter, done in compound test.

Start by trying to solve the simple problem

Break it into two parts, one that does the descending triangle, one that does the ascending part, less the single output.

Realize the obvious pattern first.

4444**** //there are 4 4's and 4 *'s
333*** //there are 3 3's and 3 *'s
22**  // and so on
1*
22**
333***
