Description:
Creates a string with the star result, and logs it onto the console.
Using alert instead of console.log would have shaved off 6
characters, but the alert box on most browsers is not fixed width
font, so it wouldn't look right.
Comments:
The code is so simple, here in readably indented form:
X=(x,y)=>y>4&x>y-5&x<23-y|y<14&x>13-y&x<5+y;
for(s='',y=0;++y<18;)
for(s+='\n',x=0;++x<18;)
s+=X(x,y)|X(y,x)?'*':' ';
console.log(s)
