Write it, run it, read the output

This is a scratch drill — your code runs, nothing is graded or recorded. No test cases, no expected output, no verdict.

TASK

Complete the program so it prints the n = 4 butterfly. Use increasing and decreasing outer loops, and for every row print the left star run, the middle gap, and the right star run with three inner loops.
