i got the first 3 lines but not the bottom 2 lines

[sinful gyro]

What's the code you have so far?

[twin dew]

for i in range(0,3):
for j in range(i,3):
print("#",end="")
for k in range(0,2*i+1):
print("n",end="")
print()

Hey @twin dew!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

only the top 3 lines

the # is space

just for easier understanding

Missing required argument

code

[full prism]

what are you struggling with?

[twin dew]

the bottom 2 lines

[full prism]

do you know about the range() function? do you know what parameters it can take?

[twin dew]

i dont know how to make the loop for the last 2 lines

[full prism]

!d range

[trail cave]

range

class range(stop)``````py

class range(start, stop[, step])```
The arguments to the range constructor must be integers (either built\-in [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int) or any object that implements the [`__index__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__index__) special method). If the *step* argument is omitted, it defaults to `1`. If the *start* argument is omitted, it defaults to `0`. If *step* is zero, [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) is raised.

For a positive *step*, the contents of a range `r` are determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i` where `i >= 0` and `r[i] < stop`.

For a negative *step*, the contents of the range are still determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i`, but the constraints are `i >= 0` and `r[i] > stop`.

[full prism]

are you familiar with the step parameter?

[twin dew]

nope

like

how to lesten the range

lessen

[full prism]

yeah, imagine you have a range from 1 to 10

but you want only odd numbers

so you would go every second number, skipping one

so you would have a step of 2

you would step 2 numbers at once

!e

print(list(range(1,10,2)))

[trail cave]

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

[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

[full prism]

the first 2 parameters are start and stop

if stop is greater than start, then the step parameter can be negative

!e

print(list(range(10,1,-2)))

[trail cave]

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

[10, 8, 6, 4, 2]

[full prism]

so you can go the reverse order

do you understand?

for the next 2 lines, you just need a reverse for loop from the initial one

[twin dew]

one second im reading

ohh

thank you

[full prism]

no problem, do you have any other questions?

[twin dew]

yeah

[full prism]

tell me

[twin dew]

hold on

i havent even given this one a thought

how the heck do u even do this

[full prism]

I would do it in a tricky and hacky way

like write the output till 1, and store it as a string, and then reverse the string, remove the one, add both parts together and print it

[twin dew]

but

i have to do this only with nested loops

its achapter

[full prism]

have you learnt about end parameter of the print statement?

!d print

[trail cave]

print

print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None, flush=False)```
Print *objects* to the text stream *file*, separated by *sep* and followed by *end*. *sep*, *end*, *file*, and *flush*, if present, must be given as keyword arguments.

All non\-keyword arguments are converted to strings like [`str()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str) does and written to the stream, separated by *sep* and followed by *end*. Both *sep* and *end* must be strings; they can also be `None`, which means to use the default values. If no *objects* are given, [`print()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print) will just write *end*.

The *file* argument must be an object with a `write(string)` method; if it is not present or `None`, [`sys.stdout`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdout) will be used. Since printed arguments are converted to text strings, [`print()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print) cannot be used with binary mode file objects. For these, use `file.write(...)` instead.

[twin dew]

no

wait

yes

end=''

[full prism]

yeah

[twin dew]

what about it

[full prism]

you can generate the first part with a for loop, print it, and the generate the other part (the other half of the row) with another for loop

and using the end="" parameter, will print the characters on the same row

[twin dew]

wait

the 1st one still isnt working

[twin dew]

@full prism can u call?

[full prism]

send the code as plain text

[full prism]

I am quite an introvert for that, and I usually find myself explaining better while writing, cuz I have more time to think and I sometimes make myself not understood because I am not a great speaker

[twin dew]

for i in range(0,3):
    for j in range(i,3):
        print(" ",end="")
    for k in range(0,2*i+1):
        print("n",end="")
    print()
for x in range(2,0,-1):
    for y in range(x):
        print(" ",end="")
    for z in range(1,x):
        print("n",end="")
    print()

[twin dew]

bruh

im an introvert too but its online

so i dont really care

but all good your wish

[sinful gyro]

It seems like there aren't enough spaces, so I would increase the range for for x in range. 2 might be too low

[twin dew]

my brain isnt braining

this shit is fucking my brain up

[twin dew]

it isnt working

ive tried everything

[ebon hawk]

you're gonna print identical lines again. literally copy paste it ?

only difference is you do the lines in reverse order and don't repeat the middle

[twin dew]

this is what im trying to make

[twin dew]

yeah how do i do the last 2 lines

[ebon hawk]

just copy paste the same code and reverse the loop

[twin dew]

how do i reverse the loop

[ebon hawk]

if you can count from 1 to 3 then surely you can count from 3 to 1

(2 to 1, since not including the middle)

[twin dew]

bruh

what the hell

i literally cant

[ebon hawk]

i = 3
while i > 0:
    i -= 1

I'm not saying that's what you should write, but I am saying that you should have no trouble doing it THAT way even if for some reason doing it with a for-loop is giving you trouble

ie. start at 3, and repeatedly subtract 1

[twin dew]

but i have to do it with only for loop

my test is on nested loops

[ebon hawk]

also: you've already posted code that has a for-loop that counts down

though for some reason you changed the loop body in it even though the lines are identical and thus would use the same code as the first 3 lines

[keen cape]

rows = 4
for i in range(rows):
    for j in range(rows - i - 1):
        print(" ", end="")
    for k in range(2 * i + 1):
        print("*", end="")
    print()

for i in range(rows - 1):
    for j in range(i + 1):
        print(" ", end="")
    for k in range(2 * (rows - i - 1) - 1):
        print("*", end="")
    print()

[twin dew]

thanks
