I’m a beginning programmer and I’m a little bit stuck with this code. All I have to do is an asterisk pyramid like that:

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

But when my pyramid starts to decrease, it stops with 4 asterisks and I have no more ideas to fix it. Hope someone could help me.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    int i, j, x;
    
    std::cin >> x;
    
    for(i=1; i<=x; i++){
        for(j=1; j<=i; j++){
            std::cout << "*";
        }
        std::cout << "n";
    }
    
    for(i=x-1; i>0; i--){
        for(j=1; j<x; j++){
            std::cout << "*";
        }
        std::cout << "n";
    }
    
    return 0;
} 

That’s what I got as a result:

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