I deduce a rhombus in the console in this way:

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int x = 6; int y = 6; int x1 = 6; int y1 = 6; int size = 6; for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x - i, y + size); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x - i, y + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x + i, y + size); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x + i, y + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); } for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { Console.SetCursorPosition(x1, y1 + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x1 + i, y1 - size); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x1 + i, y1 - i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x1, y1 + i); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x1 - i, y1 - size); Console.WriteLine("*"); Console.SetCursorPosition(x1 - i, y - i); Console.WriteLine("*"); } Console.ReadKey(); } }

But it turns out not a rhombus, but something like this:

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

And it should be:

 > * > * * > * * * * * > * * > *

Almost.

You must always remember that your y coordinate in the console is counted down, not up. Because of this confusion.

You have (x, y) - the upper reference point, so you need

 int y = 0;

Similarly, (x1, y1) is the lower reference point, therefore

 int y = 12;

Well, a few minor typos: in the second loop, you have Console.SetCursorPosition(x1, y1 + i); but since you are counting up from the lower reference point, then you need a minus. (In two places.) And yet in the same cycle, you mistakenly use y instead of y1 once.

With the corrected errors, I got this:

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