Sands of Time(c++)(not allowed string and arrays)

for loop/while loop

Instructions:

Write an application that reads an odd number in the range 1 to 29 then prints an hourglass shape. The number entered by the user denotes the height and width of the hourglass. You may use output statements that print a single asterisk (*), a single hash (#) a single space or a single newline character.

The program ends when the user enters -1.

Sample Program Run:

Enter hourglass height: 2

Invalid Input!

Enter hourglass height: 30

NOTE: You are to maximize your use of iteration statements (with nested for statements), and minimize the number of output statements
