Description:
Takes the functional approach. Iterates over Y = -8 to 8, X = -8 to 31, prints '*' unless abs(abs(y)-abs(x))>4 OR (abs(x)>4 AND abs(y)>4)
Comments:
The difference in ASCII codes between '*' and ' ' is 10. This implementation saves one byte by using logical OR with 9 which evaluates to -1 or 9, the required difference of 10. Another byte is saved by printing the full 40 columns instead of printing a new line between the inner and outer loops.
