Minor C problem

Hi, I am kind of new to C and I have run into some basic problems. I am trying to create a diamond in asterixes and I’ve managed to create a filled diamond with asterixes. But the problem I have is that I need it to look something like this:

Code:

           *
         *  *
       *      *
     *          *
       *      *
         *  *
           *

The code that I managed to make presents the diamond like this:

Code:

          *
        ***
      *****
    *******
   ********
     ******
       ****
         **
          *

And this is the code that makes it:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void pyramid(){
     int bredd,center,a,b,c;
	
	 printf("Lines: ");
	 scanf("%d",&bredd);
	 if(bredd%2!=0){ //Check if enterd number is odd or not

	 center = (bredd/2 + bredd%2);
	
	 for(a=1;a<=bredd;a+=2)
	 {	
		for(c=0;c<=center;c++)
			printf(" ");
		for(b=0;b<a;b++)
			printf("*");
		printf("\n");
		center--;
	}
	center+=2;
	for(a-=4;a>=1;a-=2)
	{
		for(c=center;c>=0;c--)
			printf(" ");
		for(b=0;b<a;b++)
			printf("*");
		printf("\n");
		center++;
	}
 }
 else{
      printf("Fel!\n");
      }
}
int main(void)
{
  pyramid();
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

Any feedback would be appreciated!

How about slowly going through an example on paper and seeing what you would do to draw the diamond, if you could only print one line at a time.

If you've got grid paper that would also help, if not just draw a grid. And where you see a blank cell could be a space...?

Thank you! I've solved it
