Hourglass Pattern

Hourglass Pattern

Given an odd integer n satisfying \( n > 1 \) and \( n \le 15 \), print an hourglass pattern using the '#' character. The pattern is symmetric: the first half decreases by 2 '#' characters per row until a single '#' is printed, and then the pattern mirrors.

Constraints: \( n \) must be an odd number greater than 1 and less than or equal to 15.

Example:

Input: 3
Output:
###
 #
