inputsize = 1
size = 1

inputsize = input("Input your triangle size: ")

while size != inputsize:
    print("{}".format("*" * size))
    size += 1
print("Here is your triangle")

My code is supposed to print "*" to represent a triangle, it should stop printing once it reaches the size limit, but instead it just infinitely spams

think about what happens if size > inputsize

It seems like inputsize is a string and size is an int, they will never be equal

[wet vale]

I forgot to reset the "size" variable after the while loop

[wet vale]

What can I do about that

[vale palm]

inputsize = int(inputsize)
it will turn inputsize into int (a number)

[blazing hare]

inputsize = int(input("Input your triangle size: "))

[vale palm]

^that also works

[wet vale]

Ooh that would do it

I love and hate how easy some problems are to fix

lmao

tyty

inputsize = 1
size = 1

inputsize = int(input("Input your triangle size: "))

while size < inputsize + 1:
    print("{}".format("*" * size))
    size += 1
size = 1
print("Here is your triangle")

This works
