Program to print right and left arrow patterns ❤️

Write to program to print the right arrow pattern and the left arrow pattern formed of stars. Input is an odd number n which represents height and width of pattern to be printed.
Examples:

Input : n = 9
Output :
    *
     *               
      *  
       *

Input : n = 7
Output :
