Python - Fun with Python Pyramid △

Hello Everyone,
I thought today I will give out some tuts regarding Python asterisk Pyramid △. If you don't know what Python asterisks Pyramid is then this is your chance to learn a few tips.
Its not much of a programming core stuff. I mean you can just code in such a way that you can create an image or a pattern using '*' (asterisk) or some other symbol you like.

So lets get on with the code:-
1) Creating simple asterisk '*' Pyramid △.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

>>> #_1)creating simple asterisk '*' pyramid >>> x = 9 >>> for i in range(1 , 10, 2): print(x * ' ' + i * '*') x = x - 1 * *** ***** ******* ********* >>>

2) Creating simple asterisk '*' Pyramid ▽ (Upside-Down).

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

>>> #_2)creating simple asterisk '*' pyramid (Upside-Down) >>> x = 1 >>> for i in range(11, 0, -2): print(x * ' ' + i * '*') x = x + 1 *********** ********* ******* ***** *** * >>>

3) Creating asterisk '*' Diamond ♢ using input function.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

>>> #_3)creating star asterisk '*' diamond using input function >>> x = int(input("Input the Size of Diamond:- ")) Input the Size of Diamond:- 10 >>> for i in list (range(x)) + list(reversed(range(x-1))): print('{:<{w1}}{:*<{w2}}'.format('','',w1=x-i-1, w2=i*2+1)) * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** ***************** ******************* ***************** *************** ************* *********** ********* ******* ***** *** *

3.1) If we only add print( ) in the above function there will be a slight change in shape. Example.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46

>>> #_3.1)creating star asterisk '*' diamond using input function >>> #but only adding print( ) changing its shape >>> x = int(input("Input the Size of Diamond:- ")) Input the Size of Diamond:- 10 >>> for i in list (range(x)) + list(reversed(range(x-1))): print('{:<{w1}}{:*<{w2}}'.format('','',w1=x-i-1, w2=i*2+1)) print() * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** ***************** ******************* ***************** *************** ************* *********** ********* ******* ***** *** *

4) Creating asterisk '*' Diamond ♢ by creating a function.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

>>> #_4)creating star asterisk '*' pyramid >>> # The trick here is to give a space in "*" as you notice the difference in the code. >>> def star(): j = 10; k = 10; p = 1 for i in range(10): print(" " * k, " *" * i) k -= 1 while j > 1: j -= 1 print(" " * p, "*#" * j) p += 1 >>> star() * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# *#*#*#*#*#*#*# *#*#*#*#*#*# *#*#*#*#*# *#*#*#*# *#*#*# *#*# *#

5) Creating a rectangular block with asterisk '*' ⏹.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

>>> #_5)creating a rectangular block with asterisk '*'. >>> row = 20 >>> column = 30 >>> for i in range(row): for j in range(column): print('*', end='') print() ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ****************************** >>>

6) Creating a rectangular hollow block with asterisk '*' ⬚.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

>>> #_5)creating a rectangular hollow block with asterisk '*'. >>> row = 20 >>> column = 30 >>> for i in range(row): for j in range(column): if(i == 0 or i == row -1 or j == 0 or j == column -1): print('*', end = '') else: print('', end = ' ') print() ****************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ****************************** >>>
