if size % 2 == 0: # Line 4
│  │      │ │  ╰──is 0
│  │      │ ╰──True
│  │      ╰──Result: 0
│  ╰──if this is odd and not 8 (x)
╰──True -> execute
size += 1
│       ╰──x -> x : x % 2 == 1, x != 9
╰──x: x % 2 == 0, x != 8
print(f"Size must be an odd number; we will increase it to 9")
                                                           ╰──You didn't increase to 9 if input != 8 and is odd

small problem

half sonnet real shi wrong code mb 😭 here. Been trying anything past hour https://paste.py...

you can define a number like value = 0 and each you you print the value % 10, you increment value by 1

zealous prawn Feb 23, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

zealous prawn ```py if size % 2 == 0: # Line 4 │ │ │ │ ╰──is 0 │ │ │ ╰──True │ │...

this is before new paste btw

#

but your new paste still have the same issue

zealous prawn this is before new paste btw

so im changing codes at line 4 and 5 is that on right track or wrong?

zealous prawn Feb 23, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

no, you fix the print on line 6

half sonnet Feb 23, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

zealous prawn no, you fix the print on line 6

Boom used {size}

#

on line 6 and now I convert it to odd number

#

the number pattern im still messing on anything you see there that I need to change?'

#

def diamond(size):
# Make sure size is odd
    if size % 2 == 0:
        size += 1
        print(f"Size must be an odd number; we will increase it to {size}")
# FOR loop for the top half of diamond
    for i in range(size // 2 + 1):
        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print the increase number from 0 to odd number
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            print(j % 10, end="")
        print()
# FOR loop the bottom half
    for i in range(size // 2 - 1, -1, -1):

        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print increasing numbers from 0 to odd number on bottom half
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            print(j % 10, end="")
        print()
# define the main function and get input to generate the diamond
def main():
    size = int(input("Enter an odd number for the size of the diamond: "))
    diamond(size)```

Hey @half sonnet!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

zealous prawn you can define a number like `value = 0` and each you you print the `value % 10`...

zealous prawn here

i messed up it gives output of all zeros

def diamond(size):
# Make sure size is odd
    if size % 2 == 0:
        size += 1
        print(f"Size must be an odd number; we will increase it to {size}")
# FOR loop for the top half of diamond
    for i in range(size // 2 + 1):
        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print the increase number from 0 to odd number
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            value = 0
            print(value % 10, end="")
        print()
# FOR loop the bottom half
    for i in range(size // 2 - 1, -1, -1):

        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print increasing numbers from 0 to odd number on bottom half
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            value = 0
            print(value % 10, end="")
        print()
# define the main function and get input to generate the diamond
def main():
    size = int(input("Enter an odd number for the size of the diamond: "))
    diamond(size)

main()```

you keep setting value = 0, I said only at the start of the function

half sonnet Feb 23, 2025, 2:57 PM

#

zealous prawn you keep setting value = 0, I said only at the start of the function

Sorry pal dont mean to be stupid im sure its frustrating 😭

def diamond(size):
    value = 0
# Make sure size is odd
    if size % 2 == 0:
        size += 1
        print(f"Size must be an odd number; we will increase it to {size}")
# FOR loop for the top half of diamond
    for i in range(size // 2 + 1):
        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print the increase number from 0 to odd number
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):

            print(value % 10, end="")
        print()
# FOR loop the bottom half
    for i in range(size // 2 - 1, -1, -1):

        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print increasing numbers from 0 to odd number on bottom half
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            print(value % 10, end="")
        print()
# define the main function and get input to generate the diamond
def main():
    size = int(input("Enter an odd number for the size of the diamond: "))
    diamond(size)

main()``` start of function yes?

each you(*time) you print the value % 10, you increment value by 1

half sonnet Feb 23, 2025, 3:01 PM

zealous prawn > each you(*time) you print the value % 10, you increment value by 1

._. that one got into my head

def diamond(size):
    value = 0
# Make sure size is odd
    if size % 2 == 0:
        size += 1
        print(f"Size must be an odd number; we will increase it to {size}")
# FOR loop for the top half of diamond
    for i in range(size // 2 + 1):
        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print the increase number from 0 to odd number
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            print(value % 10, end="")
            value += 1
        print()
# FOR loop the bottom half
    for i in range(size // 2 - 1, -1, -1):

        for j in range(size // 2 - i):
            print("", end=" ")
# Print increasing numbers from 0 to odd number on bottom half
        for j in range(2 * i + 1):
            print(value % 10, end="")
            value += 1
        print()
# define the main function and get input to generate the diamond
def main():
    size = int(input("Enter an odd number for the size of the diamond: "))
    diamond(size)

main()``` now code works. you the man thank you! continue doing god blessing we deeply appreciate you 🙏
