Installation

This project requires Python3 to run. No other external dependencies or modules required.

If python3 is on your PATH, you can run the file from the terminal as

./print-diamond end-character

where end-character is any alphabetic character.

If python3 is not on your PATH, you can run the file by using

/path/to/python3 print-diamond end-character

Within diamond.py, there are some global parameters you can tweak:

INNER_SPACER : Character to to print on the interior of the diamond (should remain a single character)
OUTER_SPACER : Character to to print on the exterior of the diamond (should remain a single character)
START_CHAR : Character printed at the top/bottom of the diamond

The UI logic can be found in print-diamond.

The core logic can be found in diamond.py.

The unit tests can be found in tests.py and the associated .txt files.
