I have a java program that must construct a diamond. A user enters the number of lines and a symbol to be used. For example a it must look like two pyramids stuck together, one stacked on another that is flipped, with the right amount of spaces. I have constructed it so that it almost works, except I can't get the spacing to work for the bottom pyramid.
The java file is at

The file works except for the spacing. PLEASE HELP!!! THanks so MUCH!

Look at your second loop (while (LineNumber > 0))...
You're drawing the symbols and *then* you're drawing the spaces.
Reverse the order you do those two things. Draw the spaces first. :)

I'll look at it, hold on I'll post my answer in a few compiling and running source to see the problem. (I do suspect it has to do with your algorithms more than with actual programming)
look up the math formula or coordinates for a diamond.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
