Diamond python with exactly 19 lines
<pre><code>i = 10
while i&gt;0:
    print i*'*' + 2*(10-i)*' ' + i*'*'
    i -=1
for x in range(1,11):
    print x* '*' + 2*(10-x)*' '+ x*'*'
    x +=1
</code></pre>

<p>I am trying to make a asterisk diamond with 19 lines.
I get 20 instead. 
This is what I want:</p>

<pre><code>********************
*********  *********
********    ********
*******      *******
******        ******
*****          *****
****            ****
***              ***
**                **
*                  *
**                **
***              ***
****            ****
*****          *****
******        ******
*******      *******
********    ********
*********  *********
********************
</code></pre>

<p>How can I get rid of the doubling up in height in the middle of the asterix.</p>

<p>cheers.</p>
