Question

I am required to use nested for loops and print(\'*\', end=\' \') to create the pattern shown here:

And here is my code. I have figured out the first t

Answer 1

The function:

def arrow(my_char, max_length):
    for i in range(max_length*2):
        if i <= max_length:
            print(my_char*i)
        if i > max_length:
            print(my_char*(max_length*2-i))

The main():

def main():
    print(arrow('*', 8))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:
