🔒 Making two circles in grid

[indigo linden]

Hey, I already asked this but I didn't have time to fix this issue then and my post got closed. So my issue is that I want two filled circles next to each other, but I'm a bit lost on how to do it. I got some help with the grid size, but I'm not sure if I did it right. Here's what I did so far:

import math

def balls(radius):

    # empty grid
    grid = [[' ' for y in range(radius * 2)] for x in range(radius * 4)]

    for y in range(radius * 2):
        for x in range(radius * 2):
            centre = (x - radius) ** 2 + (y - radius) ** 2
            if radius >= centre:
                grid[y][x] = 'x'

    print(grid)

radius = int(input("Choose your size: "))
balls(radius)`


I also attached the output

My mistake before was that I made the grid radius x radius

Thanks!!

Using math.dist may help to condense your code a little.

!d math.dist

[unreal lantern]

math.dist

math.dist(p, q)```
Return the Euclidean distance between two points *p* and *q*, each given as a sequence (or iterable) of coordinates. The two points must have the same dimension.

Roughly equivalent to:

```py
sqrt(sum((px - qx) ** 2.0 for px, qx in zip(p, q)))
```   Added in version 3.8.

As may the complex type.

!d complex

[unreal lantern]

complex

class complex(number=0, /)``````py

class complex(string, /)``````py

class complex(real=0, imag=0)```
Convert a single string or number to a complex number, or create a complex number from real and imaginary parts.

Examples...

Similar names: sympy.complex, sympy.label.complex

!d abs

[unreal lantern]

abs

abs(x)```
Return the absolute value of a number. The argument may be an integer, a floating point number, or an object implementing [`__abs__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__abs__). If the argument is a complex number, its magnitude is returned.

[timid quarry]

!e py import math p = 0, 0 q = 1, 1 result = math.dist(p, q) print(result)

The distance between 0, 0 and 1, 1.

!e py q = complex(1, 1) result = abs(q) print(result)

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[untold zenith]

are there any advantages of using the complex function for that

[timid quarry]

If you don't want to use imports, I guess.

Is it possible to do it similarly how I started making it? I'm a beginner and I feel like I'd understand it better this way
