	for(int i=1;i<=x;i++)
		cout<<".";

}

void f_e(int i)
{
	if(i==1)
	{
		space(2*(X-4));
	}
	else if(i==2)
		{
			space(X-6); star(1); 
			space(2);
			star(1); space(X-6);
		}
	else if(i==3)
		{
			space(X-7); star(6); space(X-7);
		}
	else
	{

	}
}

void run_program()
{
	int s=0, v=0;

	for(int i=1;i<=X/2;i++)
	{
		space(s); 
		star((2*X)-v); 
		f_e(i); 
		star((2*X)-v); 
		cout<<"\n";
		
		s=s+2;; v=v+2;
		
	}

	v=0; s=X+(X-4);
	
	for(int i=1;i<=X/2;i++)
	{
		space(s);

		cout<<"\n";
	
		s=s+2;; v=v+2;
	}

	cout<<"***\n";

}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
