Solution

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void printStars( int n, char s);

int main()

{int n;

char s;

   cout<<\"Please Enter The Number of Lines:\"<<endl;

   cin>>n;

printStars(n,\'*\');

    return 0;

}

void printStars(int n, char s){

    int i;

for (i=0; i<n; i++){

    cout<<s;

       }

       cout<<endl;

   if(i<=n){

    printStars(n-1,s);

   }

   for(i; i>0; i--){

    cout<<s;

    if(i<=0){

        printStars(n+1,s);

    }

   }

cout<<endl;

}
