Star Program Modification

Question

my code currently is this
public class Stars
   //  Prints a triangle shape using asterisks (stars)
   public static void main (String[] args)
      final int MAX_ROWS = 10;
//when the number of rows is less than 10 (the max number of rows) then add another row
      for (int row = 1; row <= MAX_ROWS; row++)
           //if the number of stars is greater than the rows, substract a star
         for (int star = 10; star >= row; star--)
            System.out.print ("*");
         System.out.println();
}this gives an output that looks like this
now i also need to find a way to make codes so that the outputs are these
         *(this next one is supposed to look like a diamond)

Answer 1

it just has to be hardcoded
and our teacher told us to use resources such as internet forums because she wants us to study and understand the code and not just waste time struggling with it. (dont ask why she didn't just give us the code then -_-")
