Call the method with different values for the number...

All the 5s and 4s should be replaced by variables. The 2 is ok because it is used to get half of a value and would never change.

You could Wrap the post of the output in code tags to preserve the leading spaces so we can see its shape.

Glad you solved it.

Note: The code has too many "magic numbers". Can you change it so...

Can you describe the pattern of the desired output:
