Using python, How can I make a pyramid using for loops?

Question

I\'ve been having trouble in one of my classes with this problem, I can\'t quite figure it out. This is what we were asked to do.

\"Write a program that only has one

Answer 1

You could do something simple like this.

def create_pyramid(rows):
    for i in range(rows):
        print('Y' * ( i + 1))

create_pyramid(6)

Basically you set up a for loop with the number of rows you want. If you use range(number_of_rows) you will get a loop that starts at 0 and goes to 1, 2 etc until it has looped 6 times. You then use this by multiplying the number of Y characters you want in on each line using 'Y' * i, but keep in mind that the for loop starts counting from zero so you need to add + 1 to your i variable. Last you output the number of Y characters for each line to your screen using print.

The output of this would be:

Y
YY
YYY
YYYY
YYYYY
