Answer 1

public class StarPattern {

publicstatic void main(String[] args) {
finalint rows = 7;
intspaces = rows/2;
intstars = 1;
for(inti = 0; i < rows; i ++){
for(intj = 0; j < spaces; j ++){
System.out.print("");
}
for(intj = 0; j < stars; j ++){
System.out.print("*");
}
System.out.println();
if(i< rows/2){
spaces--;
stars+= 2;
}
else{
spaces++;
stars-= 2;
}
}
}
