In geometry, a rhombus is a four sided polygon, where every side is the same length. Technically speaking, a square is a special case of a rhombus; but the shape is more commonly recognized as the diamond suite on playing cards.
Lets draw some!
The input file DATA1.txt will contain 5 lines, odd integers 1 <= N <= 7 -- the height of a desired rhombus.
The output file OUT1.txt will contain 5 rhombi, drawn using pound signs (#) and periods (.) Refer to sample input for the desired shape and format.
Sample Input:
3 5 1 1 1
Sample Output:
.#. ### .#. ..#.. .###. ##### .###. ..#.. # # #
