> Dear everyone,

> Can someone please help me on my HW. I'm trying to write a program
> that will display the following:

>     *
>    ***
>   *****
>  *******
> *********
> *********
>  *******
>   *****
>    ***
>     *

> I'm having a hard time writing a code for this one. I tried several
> times, but I can't get it to work properly. I live in Japan and I take
> an online C++ course. The instructor lives in the US so whenever I am
> awake, he's asleep. Therefore, I cannot contact him directly when I
> need help. I have to get this program up and running ASAP. I tried
> searching everywhere for help, but there's none except for this group.
> My textbook isn't much of a help either. I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE THE
> HELP I WILL GET!

My pleasure.
