Write a function generatePyramid(n) that returns an array of n strings representing a centered pyramid of height n using *.

  • Each row is width 2n - 1 characters.
  • Row i (1-indexed) contains 2i - 1 stars, centered with spaces on both sides.
  • Use loops to construct the pattern.

###Examples

Input: n = 0 Output: []
Input: n = 1 Output: ["*"]
Input: n = 3 Output: [ " * ", " *** ", "*****" ]

Constraints

  • n must be a finite integer >= 0.
  • Return false for invalid inputs (non-integers, negatives, non-numbers, NaN, Infinity).
  • Use loop-based construction (e.g., for/while).

Function Signature

function generatePyramid(n) { // Your code here }

Test Cases

  • Base: n = 0, n = 1
  • Small heights: n = 2, n = 3, n = 5
  • Invalid inputs: -1, 1.5, null, undefined, '3', {}, NaN, Infinity
  • Row properties: width = 2n - 1, star counts follow 2i - 1, only spaces and *
