How do I remove this extra kite from the diamond in this code?

June 25, 2022

I have written a python program for printing a diamond. It is working properly except that it is printing an extra kite after printing a diamond. May someone please help me to remove this bug? I can’t find it and please give a fix from this code please.
CODE:

limitRows = int(input("Enter the maximum number of rows: "))
maxRows = limitRows + (limitRows - 1)
while currentRow <= limitRows:
    spaces = limitRows - currentRow
    while spaces > 0:
        print(" ", end='')
        spaces -= 1
    stars = currentRow
    while stars > 0:
        print("*", end=' ')
        stars -= 1
    print()
    currentRow += 1
while currentRow <= maxRows:
    leftRows = maxRows - currentRow + 1
    while leftRows > 0:
        spaces = limitRows - leftRows
        while spaces > 0:
            print(" ", end='')
            spaces -= 1
        stars = leftRows
        while stars > 0:
            print("*", end=' ')
            stars -= 1
        print()
        leftRows -= 1
    currentRow += 1

OUTPUT(Case 1):

D:\Python\diamond\venv\Scripts\python.exe D:/Python/diamond/main.py
Enter the maximum number of rows: 4
   * 
  * * 
 * * * 
* * * * 
 * * * 
  * * 
   * 
  * * 
   * 
   * 

Process finished with exit code 0

OUTPUT(Case 2):

D:\Python\diamond\venv\Scripts\python.exe D:/Python/diamond/main.py
Enter the maximum number of rows: 5
    * 
   * * 
  * * * 
 * * * * 
* * * * * 
 * * * * 
  * * * 
   * * 
    * 
  * * * 
   * * 
    * 
   * * 
    * 
    *

>Solution :

You have an extra while loop in the second half of your code.

Try this

limitRows = int(input("Enter the maximum number of rows: "))
maxRows = limitRows + (limitRows - 1)
currentRow = 0
while currentRow <= limitRows:
    spaces = limitRows - currentRow
    while spaces > 0:
        print(" ", end='')
        spaces -= 1
    stars = currentRow
    while stars > 0:
        print("*", end=' ')
        stars -= 1
    print()
    currentRow += 1
while currentRow <= maxRows:
    leftRows = maxRows - currentRow + 1
    spaces = limitRows - leftRows     # Removed unnecessary while loop here
    while spaces > 0:
        print(" ", end='')
        spaces -= 1
    stars = leftRows
    while stars > 0:
        print("*", end=' ')
        stars -= 1
    print()
    leftRows -= 1
    currentRow += 1
