Printing patterns

Write a program that prints the following patterns on the screen:

**********
 ********
  ******
   ****
    **

The first line contains 10 stars. Use a constant variable to store this value.

Your code should use the folowing two methods:

/* This method prints n stars on the same line, no newline */
void printStars(int n) {
   ...
}

/* This method prints n spaces on the same line, no newline */
void printSpaces(int n) {
   ...
}

The body of your main shoud use these two methods to print the pattern. For instance, the code below

printStars(8);
System.out.println();
int i = 0;
while (i <= 4)  {
   printStars(2);
   printSpaces(4);
   printStars(2);
   System.out.println();
   i++;
}
printStars(8);
System.out.println();

gives the following pattern:

********
**    **
**    **
**    **
**    **
********
