The document contains Java code that takes in an odd integer from the user and prints out a diamond shape pattern of asterisks of that size. It first checks that the input is odd, then uses nested for loops to print spaces and asterisks in the correct positions to create the shape with asterisks at the edges and center decreasing to a single asterisk at the middle and then increasing back out.
