def Count_Total_Words(str1):
total = 1
for i in range(len(str1)):
    if(str1[i] == ' ' or str1 == '\n' or str1 == '\t'):
        total = total + 1
return total

string = input("Please Enter your Own String : ")
leng = Count_Total_Words(string)
print("Total Number of Words in this String = ", leng)

So we can't just do the top half of the shape, then do another bunch of loops as the opposite to output the second half of the shape. This is what i did, but i'm told it can be done in no more than 3 loops. I can't quite figure out how though and i'm intrigued!

This is how it should look:

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

    }
