And so on for other odd values less than or equal to 15. If the user enters an incorrect value, please print out an error statement and ask the user to enter another odd number between 1 and 15, and keep doing this until the user enters a correct input. Use nested control statements in your program to get the desired output. The only cout statements you should use to help you print the pattern are cout <<”*” ; cout <<” ” ; cout<< “ “ ;

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
  
   int n;
   cout<<"Enter a number: ";

   for(int i=1; i<=n; i=i+2){
       for(int j=1; j<=i; j++)
           cout<<"*";
       cout<<endl;
   }
  
   for(int i=n-2; i>=1; i = i-2){
       for(int j=1; j<=i; j++)
           cout<<"*";
       cout<<endl;
   }
